Problems with hobbitgraph... sometimes...

I think I'm missing something...
 
I've setup xymon 4.2.2 on my systems and it seems to be mostly working.
However, I think there is a problem with the graphing.  Hobbitgraph
doesn't seem to be generating graphs for most of my columns -- there is
just the magnifying lense icon at the bottom of the detail page where
there should be a graph.  I can't prove it now, but I have a feeling
that there was graphs at the bottom of these pages when I originally set
it up, but that the graphs disappeared when the entry moved from
"Recent" to "Last change > 24 hours".  When I go to the detail page,
there is a "hobbitgraph" link at the bottom which quickly disappears
(just leaving the magnifying lense icon).  I don't see any errors, but
maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
 
What am I missing?

I use konqueror for debugging graphing browser.
Konqueror shows an icon when a graph is broken.  So there is always something 
to click on.  Right click on that icon popup a menu where you can 
select 'View image'.  If you have the exact url, you can wget it from the 
command line and download the image.
Most of the time with broken images, some error message is returned and not an 
image.  The problem is that most browsers discard this message and the only 
way to see this is messge is download the url with wget.
