You'll need to provide a lot more information - at the moment it's "I create a graph using an unknown script/command, using unknown data, and 'it doesn't work'".

A first step would be to show what commands you used to create the RRD files and the graphs, plus a sample of the data going in.

Your graph in the email (the link doesn't work for me) has breaks in it - that can often be as simple as having a heartbeat interval that's too short so you get a lot of "unknown" data.
