I'm not familiar with the Tru64 code, but a number of metric
implementations require that you be root to run them.  This means they
fail in intresting ways with the default behavior of running as nobody.
It might be worth a try to use the config file to cause gmond to run as
root all the time and see if that fixes the problem.
