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.

Hi Phil,
may I refer to your xymon-question from some years back:-)

I think that the answer from Hendrik was very weak, in that respect that I
do not regard it as an answer at all; what did you think?
What I found when running into the same issue was, that the output given
to xymon has to start with a newline!
After I added a newline at the top of the output the trigger-string was
found and hence the graph appeared.
Did you have similar solutions?
Thanks
