It's not something that was deliberately broken, but from a quick look at the
code I don't really see why it would break.

Can you provide an example for one of these, with the data that you send for
the NCV handler, and the NCV_blabla setting you're using ?

Is the RRD file created, but doesn't get any data, or does it never 
appear?

What's in the rrd*.log files, if anything ?

What Xymon version are you trying this with ?
