netapp.pl and monitoring limits

Hi!
We have just started using Xymon/Hobbit and netapp.pl to monitor two
Netapps, and have set the quota monitoring limits like this in
netapp.ini:
/vol/s50/saa4Q = 10G:101%
thinking (after reading the comments in netapp.ini) that this would
give a warning when there is 10G of free disk space (and a red alarm
if it ever reaches 101%)
But we get alarms like this:
/vol/s50/saa4 (5.2G free - 2.60%) has reached the defined WARNING level (10G)
while the actual data are:
Full Qtree Path Total Used
Available %Used Vol/Qtree
/vol/s50/saa4 200.0G 5.2G
194.8G 3% s50/saa4
So the script obviously takes the 10G warning limit as a limit of disk
usage, not available space.
This seems to be contrary to the explanation in netapp.pl:
"
# NEW [filername] parameters for netapp.pl version 1.05
# /vol/vol0D = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for disk
space /vol/vol0
# /vol/vol0I = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for inode
usage /vol/vol0
# /vol/vol0/.snapshotS = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for
snapshot /vol/vol0/.snapshot
# /vol/vol0/qtree1Q = warn:panic # Warning/Panic level for qtree
/vol/vol0/qtree1
#
# All those parameters will accept 2 parameters separated by ":".
# The first is the warning level (yellow) and the second the panic level (red)
# Each of them can be in the 2 form:
# a) a percentage like 95% or 57.43% that is checked against the
volume percent used space/inode
# b) an absolute value like 200 or 200000 that can be followed by a
modifier (k,m,g,t)
# that is checked against the free space/inode on the volume
# You can mix the 2 form in the same check so for example:
# /vol/vol0D = 95.50%:5G
"
Any ideas if there is an easy fix for this?
