[hobbit] NCV grpah not displaying

[Rich Smrcina]

I think that a status message that I have is confusing the ncv module. 
Based on the following message:

status vse2.sp_util green 21 Nov 2005 06:41:24 Power spool status is OK

1R49I  QUEUE FILE 031% FULL - 599 FREE QUEUE RECORDS

1R49I  NO ACCOUNTING SUPPORT

queuefile : 031
datafile : 040

Of course the intent is for ncv to grab the last two lines and create an 
rrd out of them.  But the rrd gets the following information:

hobbit at hobbit:~/data/rrd/vse2> rrdtool fetch sp_util.rrd AVERAGE -r 900 
-s -60m
             1R49IQUEUEFILE030FU                CREQ                DELQ

1132540200: nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan
1132540500: nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan nan

Is this really a problem or am I trying to use ncv for something it 
wasn't designed for?  Should I stick to an 'extra' script?
