Yes, my rrdtool create works. Let me know if you need me to
test/check anything else?

Found a bug. I got the following error in the rrd-status.log when
testing the '--step 60' option:
2011-02-07 09:40:48 RRD error creating
/local/xymon/data/rrd/sha.ipac.caltech.edu/tcp.http.sha.ipac.caltech.edu,.r=

unknown option '--step 60'
However it Does work when I use: -s 60
Could you check if your "rrdcreate" command supports the "--step"
option ? Xymon just passes this verbatim to the rrdtool library,
which uses the same option syntax as the command line tools.
So this error message actually comes from the RRDtool library.
