The only thing that sticks out to my eye is that there seems to be some 
whitespace after the directory name in the client data:

 > [dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt ]

I think this might be the cause - when the client runs the 'du' command, 
it is passed to a shell which will ignore the trailing whitespace; but 
the analysis module back on the Xymon server treats it as a valid part 
of the directory name and so it cannot match the name from the client 
data with the name from the analysis.cfg file.

Could you check the client-local.cfg file and see if there is a trailing 
space in the "dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt" line ?
