[Xymon] new apache performance graphs not working

[Steve Holmes]

I just realized that the graphs for the first server that we added this to
stopped updating the data about the time I added the apache tag to the
other two servers. So something else is going on bigger than just the
apache graphs on the two servers I was looking at.

All of the other graphs seem to be updating ok, though.
Sigh.
More digging ahead.
Thanks,
Steve
