The simplest way to recreate your files, which will lose all your perf data, is to shutdown Zenoss and delete the contents of the perf directory. The RRD files do not grow in size, they stay the same and just start averaging out older data rather than grow. So when you initially configure RRDtool, you define how much data to keep and the files are pre-allocated. You may try restarting zenoss and seeing if the proper daemon writes out a new version of the file.
