client-local config:

analysis.cfg:
HOST=foo.example.com <http://foo.example.com>;
         DIR /mm/foo/request/chkpt yellow size<25622560

Looking at client data I see:

[dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt ]
2627096	/mm/foo/request/chkpt

Any thoughts?

The only thing that sticks out to my eye is that there seems to be some whitespace after the directory name in the client data:
[dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt ]
I think this might be the cause - when the client runs the 'du' command, it is passed to a shell which will ignore the trailing whitespace; but the analysis module back on the Xymon server treats it as a valid part of the directory name and so it cannot match the name from the client data with the name from the analysis.cfg file.

Could you check the client-local.cfg file and see if there is a trailing space in the "dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt" line ?
