Rrdtool by itself is not sufficient for all the libraries hobbit needs.
Please check the list of installed libraries against the hobbit
pre-requisites & install any missing libraries. Then, when you
re-compile hobbit afterward, run "make clean" before running "make" and
"make install". The "make clean" command is important.

I built hobbit from source and initially it complained that the
libraries weren't there so I installed the rrdtool package and tried
again. This time it built so I assume that it had all it needed.
If you can let me know which files need what permissions I'll check
when I check the nfs share suggestion later.

Hi
The directory is a nfs share. I'll try moving the data directory to a
local disk and see if that fixes it.

It's an error from the rrdtool library. I honestly have no idea what
could be causing this.
Is the /var/sites/hobbit/non-secure//data/rrd an NFS filesystem?
Perhaps there's some issue with locking on networked filsystems.
