The string length did the fix.

Thanks for all the replies.

In xymonserver.cfg have I added:
- 'postfix=ncv' to the TEST2RRD string
- NCV_postfix="*:GAUGE"

The instructions for the script say to use SPLITNCV_postfix instead of NCV_postfix. The difference is that you would get one file called postfix.rrd instead of 5 files called postfix,mails_active.rrd, postfix,mails_bouncing.rrd, etc.

When not splitting, the text before the colon is used as the DS name, and you have to keep that to under 19 (I think) chars, in which case "mails_in_deferred_state" breeches that constraint, and so the RRD module is probably rejecting all data.  When splitting, the text becomes part of the filenames, and instead "lambda" is used as the DS name in each.
