hobbit graph problem

Hiya

I installed the Hobbit system just a few months ago and it has worked 
great..... until I upgraded rrdtool to 1.3.0

rrdtool --version
RRDtool 1.3.0  Copyright 1997-2008 by Tobias Oetiker 
               Compiled Jul 11 2008 11:22:35

Immediately all my MRTG and hobbit graphs lost all the text 
information.   I recompiled and reinstalled rrdtool (because I 
figured that some libraries had been upgraded at the same time but in 
the wrong order) and the MRTG graphs now display the correct 
information.
However, the Hobbit graphs are still missing the text information (on 
the same server).
For example see here
http://iwr.ru.ac.za/hobbit-cgi/bb-
hostsvc.sh?HOST=lergy.iwr.ru.ac.za&SERVICE=disk

As an aside, I have got Hobbit to speak to me.  My alert rules 
specify an external script which uses 'espeak' to do text to speach 
processing.   Since the main server is right next to me and just 
happened to have sound hardware, it now speaks out a short message 
when Hobbit detects a problem.  I can get the details from the email.

I read somewhere that rrdtool 1.3.0.1 will be out soon to address 
some issues, but in the meantime I get the feeling that somethingin 
the interface has changed and maybe Hobbit needs little tweaking.
I'm running all this on FreeBSD 7.0 Release, and have loaded all the 
software via the ports system.
