That would be (partly) my plugin, obtained from Nagiosexchange.org,  
most likely :)

And did you really want that period before the /var ?

The -vv is an issue, although there could be a couple of others (see  
previous comments about the formating of the file string in the  
command). As that flag gives a lot of debugging output, and nagios  
only displays the first line of output, I wouldn't expect it to show  
the traffic values with this switch in there. What I would expect  
nagios to be showing is something along the lines of "Using RRD File: / 
var/www/html/cfg/$HOSTADRESS$_1.rrd" (I think that's the first line of  
debugging output I put in there), with $HOSTADDRESS$ replaced  with  
the applicable value. Try without the -vv and see what happens.
