If it's only text missing, you might want to check that the server has the
same fonts installed as on the other two servers.

You could also try manually generating the graphs and see if rrdtool
complains about anything.  For example, I have Hobbit on a Gentoo server
called lorien, so I can generate the cpu load graph manually like this:

     rrdtool graph /var/www/localhost/htdocs/la.png \
         "DEF:avg=/home/hobbit/data/rrd/lorien/la.rrd:la:AVERAGE" \
         "CDEF:la=avg,100,/" \
         "AREA:la#00CC00:CPU Load Average"

rrdtool responds with   "481x168"  which is the pixel size of the image
generated.  I can then load that image in a browser at
http://localhost/la.png.  The DEF, CDEF & AREA lines come from the
server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg file.
