Hallo Mark, I don't think that this is an apache permission problem, because apache only does the presentation of the data. The RRDs are written by the smokeping deamon, I assume.
So, since I didn't have any experience with this master/slave construct I also don't have any clues for this. But I also have some issue in conjunction with more than one FPING probes. If I enable multiple FPING probes, smokeping stops writing the RRDs. After doing some (short ;o) ) debugging and don't finding any hints, i tried to start smokeping as root directly from the command line and let it deamonize itself. Than I noticed that my graphs are working again, also with multiple probes active. So maybe this is a workaround for you too? Trie to start the smokeping as root directly from CLI and look what happens. So I know that this is only a workaround, because it is not recommended starting smokeping as root directly.
