yeah, i'm kind of an idiot:

/local/hobbit/client/ext/cputemp.sh: line 25: 100: command not found
DS:cputemp:GAUGE:600:0:U
cputemp.rrd
100
/local/hobbit/client/ext/cputemp.sh: line 25: 100: command not found
DS:cputemp:GAUGE:600:0:U
cputemp.rrd
100

On the client my script is happily shouting this out to stdout.  Where
do i include these "echo" lines to get them properly noted by the
server's rrdtool?  I can see that no cputemp.rrd exists on the server.
It's not getting there.
