Can you run xymond_rrd with --debug mode? Specifically, the one reading 
from the "status" channel.

This is responsible for taking the incoming data point and turning it 
into a "modify" message, so if there's a parsing problem it should show 
up either at the time of the http message receipt or on initial load as 
it's importing the rules to begin with.

If a "modify" message is properly being sent out, then it's possible the 
host+svc combination it's being tagged with is incorrect.
