Thanks Seth and Ben for the advice.  I can run both gmond and
gmetad in debug mode.  gmond says it is collecting data and
sending messages (who is it sending them to ?)

gmetad starts up and says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rrds]# pwd
/var/lib/ganglia/rrds
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rrds]# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jun 19  2006 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Feb 17 21:26 ..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rrds]# gmetad -d99
Going to run as user root
Sources are ...
Source: [mitzie, step 10] has 1 sources
        127.0.0.1
xml listening on port 8651
interactive xml listening on port 8652
cleanup thread has been started
Data thread -1271288912 is monitoring [mitzie] data source
        127.0.0.1
[mitzie] is a 2.5 or later data stream
hash_create size = 1024
hash->size is 1031
hash_create size = 50
hash->size is 53

And then, for every [interval] seconds it merely says:
[mitzie] is a 2.5 or later data stream
[mitzie] is a 2.5 or later data stream

What's up with the "Data thread -1271288912" ?  That seems a bit weird.

It never says anything about polling anything, or writing
any files.  Nothing, just all about this data stream version.

I've tried it as user setuid "ganglia" and user "root"
Same behavior either way.  (with appropriate owner on ganglia/rrds/)

My full gmetad.conf spec says:
data_source "mitzie" 10 127.0.0.1:8649
gridname "HomeGrid"
authority "http://localhost/ganglia/";
trusted_hosts 192.168.1.71 127.0.0.1
all_trusted on
setuid off

Anything wrong with that ?

the directory sits there empty.  gmond and gmetad are running
just fine.

I'm sure you've already checked this, but just in case, I have to ask -
what are the permissions on /var/lib/ganglia/rrds/?  Does the user as
which gmetad is running have write privs on that directory?
