Yup, values match.  I had a similar problem showing the graphs of some 
of my other custom tests (e.g. fan speed, bonded interfaces, etc).  When 
I added them to the bb-hosts via TRENDS they showed up.  Any other 
ideas?  Is there a limit to the number of graphs that will show up on 
the TRENDS page?
