I can confirm that this works now.  Thanks.

Is this cgi-bi/bb-csvinfo.sh?  I have to manually edit the menu to add 
it, huh?

If I understand this correctly, this could help me get rid of 2 local 
patches that I maintain to keep RRD data consistent between my 
inconsistent legacy systems.  Is its use transparent or something I can 
tap into?  Right now I have to force some column re-ordering in a couple 
of  the hobbitd/larrd/do_xxx routines to make things work, and editing 
the source files has been the easiest & most consistent way to do it.

FYI to users going from older hobbit, you may want to copy over the 
contents of these files into these new locations, otherwise you could 
lose a lot of "history" in these areas (not to mention any current acks 
that are in effect when you apply the RC2 upgrade).
