[Xymon] New 4.3.28 build collecting no data to RRD

Env: HP-UX 11.31, xymon 4.3.28, gmake 4.2.1, gcc 4.2.3, rrdtool 1.6.0

New install, compiled cleanly, installed cleanly.  xymon starts ok, status page shows the xymon server as expected.

Selecting one of the attributes/tests from the server, e.g. "conn" produces the expected output, except that there is no graph. Clicking the magnifying glass icon produces the error message "Cannot access RRD directory"

/var/log/xymon  shows  alert.log, clientdata.log, history.log, hostdata.log, rrd-status.log all being appended repeatedly with message similar to
"2017-02-21 11:43:26.646604 Peer not up, flushing message queue"  (where the timestamp increases with each entry of course)
