What you are doing wrong is NOT reading the available documentation ! 
You will not, ever get a value of 6 as output from that series of 
commands<period>.


Go read http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/process.php then you'll 
see what's wrong. You'll also find that this is 'done to death' 
fairly regulalry in the mailing list archives.
