You could try generating the graph by hand.  Something like this ought to do
it:

     cd /path/to/rrd/directory
     rrdtool graph x.png -t "Mail Queue Length" -v "Queue Size"  \
        DEF:primary=PPSmsgq.rrd:primary:GAUGE  \
        DEF:googprod=PPSmsgq.rrd:googprod:GAUGE  \
        LINE2:primary#FF0000   \
        LINE2:googprod#0FF00

If you get no error message, try to display x.png.  That'll tell you that
the rrd has good data.

If there anything in the xymon logs??
