ya it would appear so far that apart from disk, I have only been able to
get a maximum of 4 graphs on the detail page (obviously disk can do
more on the detail page)

As far as the root cause of my problem, changing the .rrd files from
sar0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
to
sar00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15

fixed the problem.
