Sorry, but my crystal ball isn't working so I can't tell what you've done !

For problems like this, you need to do a test with fixed data to make 
things reproduceable.
So create a new file
Do a series of updates
Draw a graph

But put all the commands for these in a script so it's easy to run it 
multiple times - and post the script.

Note that for updates, you don't have to use "N" as the time, you can 
specify a timestamp. So for example, you can do
   rrdtool update 1347452040:...
   rrdtool update 1347452100:...
   rrdtool update 1347452160:...

Only by having put in known data for known times can we have any hope 
of knowing what should come out.

Yes, it seems there's a problem with that, I'm now told it hasn't 
been working for a few weeks.


PS - please don't top post. And keep discussions on-list.
