When you defined the RRD store, did you store the max values ? If you 
only store the average then the best you can show is the max value of 
the average function for the time period - and as the resolution gets 
less, peaks (ie the max) get smoothed out by the averaging.

I have recently set up network traffic logging, I defined both 
average and max consolidations in the RRD store for that reason.
