Could you try the latest version 0.6.3 ? I might already have fixed it.
Also add --debug if you still have problems, and send the output from
dstat --version. (So that I know what kernel version you're using).
I probably also require the content from /proc/partitions and/or
/proc/diskstat from your system.
