You may also want to consider looking at dbcheck.pl from the hobbit-perl_cl 
project, which (in conjunction with recent Xymon releases) more or less 
provides this out-the-box (without an extra script).

What did you add to the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS variables in hobbitserver.cfg? 
Appending ::1 to the name you added in GRAPHS (e.g. oradb::1 instead of oradb) 
may help.
