nagios / apan config prob

[matthewwilson at dsl.pipex.com]

Hi
I am just getting to grips with Nagios and Apan and am having some config probs.
 I have run out of ideas.  I have one service set up to ping with apan but it
keesp returning PING critical - host not found, while the host check is pinging
fine.  I also keep seeing in apan.debug lines like

Tue Aug 19 11:27:37 BST 2003 Args: ping BBI-Hub bbi-ping 1061288857 2000,50%
5000,80%
Could not insert ':ping' , '1061288857:' into /usr/share/nagios/rrd/BBI-Hub-ping.rrd

nagios is installed by the rpm so html is in /usr/share/nagios, cgis and plugins
in /usr/lib/nagios and configs in /etc/nagios
apan is in /usr/share/nagios/apan and I have changed all paths accordingly. 

the rrd file is there and setup correctly as per the 'how to' in apan
documentation. config files are below - any suggestions appreciated.
