You have two(or more) mrtg daemons running. Check your running processes. I had this problem when I was adjusting my mrtg config, each time I had to restart the daemon. And each time you run mrtg without just restarting it, it will generate duplicate daemons which will screw your logfiles as well.
I fixed all my problems with just adding this to my crontab and my config saying "RunAsDaemon: No" (or whatever it is in the config): */5 * * * * root mrtg /home/henke/mrtg/mrtg.conf This will make mrtg run every five minutes. And I can change the config all the time without the need of restarting the daemon (as far as I know). And I dont see why you should run it as a daemon actually... Hope this helps you.
