This error message is telling you that MRTG is not able to find the RRDs.so 
part (the loadable object module) of the RRDs.pm module.

I've just examined the rrdtool package as distributed by sunfreeware, and it 
contains:

1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl 0755 bin bin
1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7 0755 bin bin
1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/RRDp.pm 0444 bin bin 5045 15643 
1174804915
1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris 0755 bin bin
1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/RRDs.pm 0444 bin bin 3847

1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto 0755 bin bin
1 d none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDp 0755 bin bin
1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDp/.packlist 0644 
bin bin 97 7916 1174804915
1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/ntmake.pl 0444 bin bin

1 f none rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/perllocal.pod 0644 bin bin 
684 48533 1174804915

This shows it is MISSING the 
rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDs directory and contents!  
In other words, the package as distributed by sunfreeware is incorrect and not 
created right.  It has the perl library RRDs.pm but not the object module it 
depends on.  In other words, its useless if you want to use the RRDs perl 
library, although the rrdtool executable will be just fine.

Sadly, in this case, the only course of action is to compile it yourself from 
source code, and install.  If I get the chance I might be able to try and 
create the missing file 
rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so (and RRDs.bs) on 
our system and make it available, but its awkward because it requires 
compilation with exactly the same parameters to be compatible.

I've never actually installed this package under solaris10 so I hadn't spotted 
the error in it before.

I added these lines to my mrtg.cfg

PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/bin
LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/
LogFormat: rrdtool

and got the error::
