Representing disk data for graphing

I'm interested in changing the way that I report disk utilization for 
mainframe based operating systems (VM and VSE) so that it can be graphed 
by RRD.  The basic message format seems right, but the graph is not 
coming out properly.  Here is the message text:

  11 Oct 2006 07:45:23 Disk/SFS Utilization OK

green /VMSYSU/group2   4280        488       3792  11.4%   /SFS/VMSYSU
green /VMSYSU/group3  71896          0      71896   0.0%   /SFS/VMSYSU

The 'green' indicator on the left is a green icon put there to easily 
spot an offender.  Is that messing up the parsing of the message for 
graphing purposes?  Or is it possibly the decimal points in the percentages?

The graph is coming up with a single data point called 2006.
