What's your step value? 3600?

Wouldn't I also need to change my step value from 300 (5 minutes) to 60 (1 
minute)?

example:
step 300
10 logins in 10 minutes (1 login/min)
10/3000 * 60 != 1 login/min

however...
step 60
10 logins in 10 minutes
10/600 * 60 = 1 login/min

Right?  By default, Zenoss rrdcreates with a step of 300 (rrdtool info 
logonAttempts_logonAttempts.rrd show's step = 300).  So...I think I'd need to 
change this step to have truly accurate numbers.  No?
