Unable to create nagiosgraph rrd files- can update fine

[qsir1]

So we recently moved monitor servers- I copied all config files, definitions, rrd files, installed nagiosgraph etc. I mirrored everything exactly and nagios works perfectly except for the fact that I cannot create new rrd files (from cmd line is fine). It still updates the old ones and I can see the updated graphs so I know it is not a permission/filesystem issue- been pulling my hair out all day. I'm guessing its related to performance processing- the template is fine but the log file says there is no performance data to compare to (below)

-all config files copied from old server
-checked for spelling mistakes
-tried debug/verbose log. no errors
-rrdtool create works fine from cmd line. no permission issue. but no rrdtool create appears in log file
-checked all directories for permission. all nagios:nagios

FYI- same version of nagios on both. 3.0.2
Nagiosgrapher 1.6.1

Update- the problem only occurs on one check:

why is there no perfdata?? the regex matches:

6180547:2011-03-02 13:51:32 PIPE: NYCadvip3 ads_SMART_NYCadvip3 Result: HTTP/1.1 200 OK in time=34 ms 1299091868

#changed the regex slightly but still does not work
define ngraph{
service_name ads_SMART_NYCadvip3
graph_perf_regex time=(\d+)
graph_value ads_smart_value
graph_units Seconds
graph_logarithmic 1
graph_legend "MySQL port response:"

solved!!!

one more thing. performance data should have this format: name1=value[units];[warn];[crit];[min];[max][ name2=value[units];[warn];[crit];[min];[max][ ...]]]
