This would seem to indicate that the RRD file you have created, /tmp/test.rrd, does not match the format that you are using to write, "N:123:123"

You are writing "N:123:123" which means that the destination RRD MUST have 2 and only 2 DS defined.

The error message, " expected 4 data source readings (got 2)" would seem to indicate that test.rrd has in fact 4 DS defined and so the update fails.

Check that test.rrd is created correctly, and has a structure corresponding to the rrdupdate you are using.

Unfortunately, rrdcached makes no verification of structure until the data is written.  This might be a failure on the part of rrdcached -- maybe it should also check/remember the number of DS in a RRD and return a fail if someone tries to queue a non-matching dataset?
