I have verified I am getting the right data from the status by redirecting
the script to a file.  Somewhere between grepping the license count and
putting it in the RRD file it gets lost.  I'm figuring it must be because
the hostname is the same as the DS name.  Any other host I plug in to it
works fine.  Thanks
