This message usually means that something was wrong with the metric definition and gmond doesn't recognize the metric name. If you invoke gmond with a -m parameter to list out all of the metrics, does your CacheHits metric show up in the list? If not then your module either isn't being loaded or the metric definition that is returned by your module has a problem.
