*sigh* I really need to stop doing this. And by "this" I mean; I will
have a problem, and try and try to figure it out, so I give up and
send an email about it. While waiting for a reply I poke around and
figure out the problem. Maybe next time I should just send the email
to myself :)

I noticed the typo when I sent the email. It's actually
NCV_modjk="modjk:GAUGE"  (proper quotes).

I defined an NCV as type GAUGE:

$ tail -1 hobbitserver.cfg
NCV_modjk=modjk:GAUGE"

But when I actually peek at the rrd file, it sys it is type
DERIVE.

<!-- Round Robin Database Dump --><rrd> <version> 0003 </version>

        <ds>
                <name> modjk </name>
                <type> *DERIVE* </type>
                <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat>
                <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min>
                <max> NaN </max>


Any idea what could be the issue? I tried deleting the rrd and
letting hobbit recreate it, it was again created with DERIVE type
