Sorry ... that was just for a normal .rrd file.  I didn't realise that 
you were asking specifically for one of the slave .rrds, so I just 
copied the first line I saw.

Now that you mention it though ... I don't actually see anything in the 
log about updating the slave .rrds.

If I chmod the .rrd files to 777 though, I see them updating in the log, 
but they still don't list a user in the output.

Yes.  Again, the slaves work fine if I chmod the .rrd files to 777, so I 
really think that I'm just dealing with some sort of a permissions issue?

It's the same version running on both the master and slave machines.

I don't have a separate config file for the slaves ... they're just 
included in the main smokeping config file.
