[hobbit] Representing disk data for graphing

[Rich Smrcina]

I verified that the routine parsing the data for the graphs is picking 
the third token on the first line.  I changed the first line to look 
like the Unix equivalent (the date format, etc) and it is consistently 
picking the third item.

The '2006' is becoming the name of the data point and the value being 
graphed is zero.

I'm just sending the data (there is no back end routine or extra script 
involved), I'm letting Hobbit to the parsing.

Adding the icon (I do use &color, when I cut and pasted it from Firefox 
'green' came out) is messing up the parsing such that no graph data is 
produced.
