I doubt it is the actual RRD collection that is the problem, otherwise you 
probably wouldn't see a link to a graph ... however you should show the output 
of something like:

rrdtool info $BBRRD/hostname/power.rrd

According to your rrd option to the table statement in your message file, the 
DS name in the hobbitgraph definition should be ds0 or ds1, not "lambda".

Will we see the devmon template?
