If you have no graph, you could click on the magnifying glass, which is 
located on the right of the graph. Often that will show an error 
message, which gives a clue about the problem.

In your case the number of lines with a colon in it might be a problem. 
NCV might find multiple Name-Colon-Value triplets, and RRD will then 
complain about undefined datasets. In such cases, I replace all colons 
outside the intended NCV triplets by ":", a colon in HTML parlance.
