I checked the rrd file and it is of type 'GAUGE', and 'sec' is the correct DS
section name.

I tried setting the rule to '>0.0' but it still showed a green status.

I also tried creating a symlink from the rrd file to a more simpler name
('jh.rrd -> tcp.http...') - still showed green.

I have also run xymonnet with the '--debug' option, but can see nothing about
the DS entry or checking the rule to determine the overall colour. I can see
the http test colour being determined, but nothing about the DS entry.

I'm wondering if the fact that we are using
'httpstatus;httpsch://weed.plymouth.ac.uk/;"^[23]";"^[^23]"' for the test is
causing a problem.

If I can I'll take a look at the code later on, but to be honest I'm a bit
stumped by this.
