Do you have the web page on a publicly viewable site? Is so, what's
the URL?
Also, I would try using the data set with 20 values and see what you.
Finally, two other things I would try:
1) Upgrade to Orca 0.27b1 since this has many bugs fixed and additional
features.
2) Can you dump one of the RRD data files and send it along?
