bbmrtg.pl help

Hello all

 I need to alarm on bandwidth thresholds so I have added bbmrtg.pl  
using this guide, http://www.pleiades.com/mrtgbb/.  Everything is 
working expect when bbmrtg.pl runs it reports  "In: bytes/sec (0.0%) 
Out: bytes/sec (0.0%)". When look at the graph produced by mrtg-rrd.cgi, 
it reports the correct usage which in case is "Current In: 68.8 Mb/s 
Current Out: 25Mb/s". It is as if bbmrgt.pl is not reading the rrd file.


Here is what my mrtg.cfg file looks like.
