[Xymon] RRD Duplicate DS Name

I think you're right.  I think Henrik assumed that the problem was with DS
names being too long - as this is the most common reason for the "duplicate
DS name" error.  It seems the colons in the "ls" output are being parsed as
if they are part of a string of the form 'P:Q".

The real answer, as I understand, is that NCV messages are not intended to
show text, only the NCV lines.  However, according to the code, if you send
the string "@@" on a line by itself, the rest of the messages is ignored by
the parsing code.

Also, regarding the required newline, yes the example NCV code includes a
newline before the NCV lines.
