Kevin,
You need to look at SPLITNCV. It's quite easy actually, I just changed mine to that yesterday because of the same problem.
Change your NCV_test to SPLITNCV_test. You can also use wildcards, so you could write it like mine:
SPLITNCV_F5="*:GAUGE"
Here's my graphs config for an example to look at. BTW, the dataset name will always be lamda no matter the rest of the config, so don't change that.

Subject: [Xymon] custom graph- variable datasets?
Is there a way to have variable datasets? Meaning that sometimes my scripts will have 2 datasets and other times I will have 3 datasets. Currently when sending the 3 items the graph works, but when only 2 the graph is not there.
So my scripts will send one of the following:
data01 : 56
flash01 : 4
redo01 : 1
or
data01 : 56
flash01 : 4
Here are parts of my configuration:
Hobbitserver.cfg
TEST2RRD="...,test=ncv"
NCV_test="data01:GAUGE,flash01:GAUGE,redo01:GAUGE"
Hobbitgraph.cfg
[test]
TITLE test
YAXIS % Used
DEF:data=test.rrd:data01:AVERAGE
DEF:flash=test.rrd:flash01:AVERAGE
DEF:redo=test.rrd:redo01:AVERAGE
LINE2:data01#FF0000:data01
LINE2:flash01#00CCCC:flash01
LINE2:redo01#00FF00:redo01
