Paulo,

Did this ever work?

If not, then I would add some debugging code to lib/Orca/RRDfile.pm.
Find this section of code:

     RRDs::create @options;

     if (my $error = RRDs::error) {
       warn "$0: RRDs::create error: '$rrd_filename' $error\n";
       return;
     }

and add @options to the warning line.  So change

       warn "$0: RRDs::create error: '$rrd_filename' $error\n";

to

       warn "$0: RRDs::create @options error: '$rrd_filename' $error\n";

It would be good to see the exact options being sent to RRDs::create.

Best,
Blair
