FNPATTERN is not needed, unless you are combining values from several
different RRD files.  I don't think this is causing any problems, but take
it out anyway.

The rest looks reasonable.  But note that you won't get a graph line, only
the text showing "Minutes: 17".

Try running the graph process manually using the rrdtool graphing function,
like so:

$ rrdtool graph /dev/null
'DEF:SecondsElapsed=SecondsElapsed.rrd:SecondsElapsed:AVERAGE'
'GPRINT:SecondsElapsed:LAST:Minutes\: %5.0lf (cur)'

All that I've done here is to drop the TITLE" and "AXIS" entries (they are
optional with rrdgraph), and quote the other lines, sending the output to
/dev/null.  If there are problems, they will show up as an error message
from rrdtool.  If it parses correctly, then rrdtool will output the pixel
dimensions of the graph image file it created, such as "481x168".
