My bad. The sky isn't falling.

my call was wrapped in a loop:

int=0

for (( j=1; j<=288; j++ )) do

    let eint=int+300
    stamp=`date -v-${i}d -v0H -v0M -v+${int}S +"%s"`
    ....

    rrdtool update $rrd_dir/${rrd_name}.rrd $stamp:`echo $count`
    let int=int+300
done

the date command is starting the seconds from when the script is
called and not from 0, which is what I thought it was doing. :)

Thanks!
