That makes sense, because you have no directories in your orcallator 
directory.  As you start collecting data from your hosts (via "RICHPse" 
or similar, depending on the OS), collect the data into that orcallator 
directory in the form of 
"/app/cis/orca/var/orcallator/hostname/filename".  You can use any of a 
number of methods of getting the data there in that directory path 
format--implementation is up to you.  If you don't like that format, you 
can modify find_files accordingly (it's basically just a perl-like regex).

Until you get at least one host data populated there, orca will decide 
it has nothing to do, and quit (hmm, or keep running, but generate no 
graphs, as it has no data).
