My understanding is that in local mode, the memory data is analysed and sent by xymond_client.  Perhaps you could run this with the "--debug" switch to see what's going on.  Also, you could use a xymond_channel command on the server to watch the memory status messages come in, to check whether they're coming from the client.  Something like:

  xymond_channel --channel=status --filter='name-of-host.*\|memory\|' cat

As far as I can tell from reviewing the code, the xymond_client program gets its memory numbers from the client data, but it uses different section names depending on the OS.  For Linux, it looks only in [free], for FreeBSD it looks in [meminfo] and [swapinfo], and for Solaris it looks in [memory], [swap] and [swaplist].  What OS are you using?
