Sure (I'm not a rrdtool guru, but I'll do my best).

Great!

mmm... I think here's de problem,
Those two lines should be:
        CDEF:prev_failures=PREV(failures)
        CDEF:prev_successes=PREV(successes)

> [ERROR: RPN final stack size != 1]

That is reasonable:

        CDEF:prev_failures=failures,PREV

  The PREV operator (do not confuse it with PREV()), fetches de previous
sample of prev_failures, rather than the previous sample of failures. 
So, at the end of the RPN expression you have two values on stack
(that's the error message you get).

Hope it helps,
