It looks like the maximum change in the value of the counter over a five minute period is 2. If you don't use the "gauge" option, mrtg tries to calculate a rate of change per second. It does this by dividing the actual change over five minutes by 300, then rounding to the nearest integer. Unless the counter changes by at least 150 in a five minute period, the result will be zero.
You can use the "perminute" or "perhour" options to compensate for this. In this case, the "perhour" option would be the better choice.
