[rrd-users] Can't get a graph

It is hard to tell, but it looks as if the data is actually there but scaled 
way down onto the x-axis. If you look at numbers instead of a graph it may 
be easier to see.

Try to isolate the problem.
Don't look at the graphs, try rrdtool fetch.
Don't use fancy ways of specifying time, try to keep it simple.
You used dump and restore. Good. What happens if you dump the data on the 
new installation and look at it?
