Thanks Peter,

Recompiling latest nfdump snapshot with the right rrdpath fixed it, guess  
it helps if you read ./configure --help ;)

For the sake of posting an easy solution for others who come across this,  
my configure line was:

./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr/bin

rrdpath can be found with 'which rrdtool', CentOS yum installs it to  
/usr/bin.
