Help - NCV graph issue

I'm having problems getting some particular NCV graphs to display (I get 
missing graph link) .  I have successfully added other NCV graphs, and I 
thought I knew what I was doing, but alas I am stuck and cannot figure 
out what I've done wrong. I'm hoping that Henrik or anyone can see what 
I'm doing wrong.

What I've checked so far:
* Script is properly sending data message to Hobbit
* Hobbit is receiving the data and creating RRD files
* The RRD files are being updated
* proper? definitions in TEST2RRD
* proper? definition in hobbitgraph.cfg, using correct rrd filename and 
ds name

I have a server-side script that collects database connection stats for 
Tomcat processes (5 seperate processes per server). The collector script 
is working fine, and I verified that rrd files are being created and 
populated.  The DS is "dbconn":
extt$ ~/local/bin/rrdtool dump ../../data/rrd/host1/tc_1_1-dbconn.rrd  
|grep name
                <name> dbconn </name>

data is definitely going into the rrd file(s):
ext$  ~/local/bin/rrdtool dump ../../data/rrd/host/tc_1_1-dbconn.rrd  
|grep row |grep -v NaN
                        <!-- 2007-06-29 19:05:00 GMT / 1183143900 -->

                        <!-- 2007-06-29 19:20:00 GMT / 1183144800 -->

Here is the test definition I am using in hobbitgraph.cfg:
[tc_1_1-dbconn]
        TITLE Tomcat Database Connections
        YAXIS #
        DEF:dbconn=tc_1_1-dbconn.rrd:dbconn:AVERAGE
        LINE2:dbconn#00CCCC:database connections
        COMMENT:(5 Minute Combined Avg)\n
        GPRINT:modjk:LAST: \: %5.6lf (cur)
        GPRINT:modjk:MAX: \: %5.6lf (max)

here is the relavant additions I made to the TEST2RRD section of 
hobbitserver.cfg:
TEST2RRD="<hobbit default 
settings>,tc_1_1-dbconn=ncv,tc_1_2-dbconn=ncv,tc_1_3-dbconn=ncv,tc_1_4-dbconn=ncv,tc_1_5-dbconn=ncv,tc_2_1-dbconn=ncv,tc_2_2-dbconn=ncv,tc_2_3-dbconn=ncv,tc_2_4-dbconn=ncv,tc_2_5-dbconn=ncv,tc_3_1-dbconn=ncv,tc_3_2-dbconn=ncv,tc_3_3-dbconn=ncv,tc_3_4-dbconn=ncv,tc_3_5-dbconn=ncv"

Once I can get this single graph working, I plan on creating a 
definition that will display all of the dbconn data in one graph (per host).
