So far no problem, this is how it should be done.  However, chances are
these machines are binary compatible in which case you can just copy
the rrd file over.

All entries are -1.#IND000000e+000 ?  This means you have no historic
data.  Sure, when importing this database to your linux platform, data
won't magically appear.

I see no obvious reason for you to compare "1159177800:  -1.#IND000000e+000"
against "1159183800: nan".  These time stamps aren't the same, so what
are you trying to proove?

Don't post here, just look yourself: look at the resulting ascii file
after doing "rrdtool dump" on the windows box.  Is there any data not
equal to -1.#IND000000e+000, for instance something like 1.23456e002 ?
