Well, one (possible) problem is that rrdtool (used to store perf data) expects 
to receive values at least once in a given interval ("heartbeat"):

  
>              heartbeat defines the maximum number of seconds that may pass
>                between two updates of this data source before the value of the

(rrdcreate manpage)

You can see the heartbeat of a RRD archive with rrdinfo:

Find the RRD archive for the data source that does not work (they are unter 
zenoss/perf/Devices/<Devicename>).

Run (after putting zenoss/bin into your PATH)
rrdinfo <RRD file>
 and look for "minimal_heartbeat". If it is e.g. 20, then if there is not a 
value at least every 20 seconds, rrdtool does not store any values it receives 
-> no graph.
This is often a problem if values arrive very infrequently (as in your case).

Use rrdtune to increase the heartbeat value (see manpage), that might help.
