Nothing, actually. You did not get 33 million, you got 33 mili (or "33  
* 10^(-3)"), which is exactly what you expect.

See parameter -X from rrdtool graph to tweak how the units are handled:

http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html

If you don't want any units to be used, just use "-X 0" in your  
rrdgraph call and you will get a graph with Y axis displaying numbers  
like "0.033" instead of "33 m".
