That's because you are offering 3 values to an RRD that's configured to take 
only one.

It doesn't work like that. If you want to record the min/avg/max values from a 
ping then you need to define THREE DSs, eg response_min, response_avg, 
response_max
You can then define your RRAs as required. You cannot be selective about this, 
so you will end up with all 9 permutations of min of min, min of avg, min of 
max, avg of min, ... Only three of these (min of min, avg of avg, max of max) 
are actually useful.
