[hobbit] Resolved: [hobbit] NCV - problems setting to GAUGE

[Charles Jones]

The problem was with some other tests that I was sending, which were 
named slightly different:
NCV_modjkaltname="modjkaltname:GAUGE"

While my testname was different for these other NCV's, the actual NCV 
value they were sending was the same, so the fix was to change those to:
NCV_modjkaltname="modjk:GAUGE"

And restart hobbit. The problem was that hobbit was previously getting 
the NCV name of "modjk", but my previous definitions were for 
"modjkaltname", which didn't match so Hobbit used the default DERIVE 
type. Once I purged the rrd files, updated to the correct names, and 
restarted hobbit, it created proper GAUGE type rrds.
