Probably I missed something basic, but cacti doesn't
present my graph. RRD was created with this command

/usr/bin/rrdtool create
/var/www/cacti/rra/concurrent_calls_14.rrd --step 300 
DS:concurrent_calls:GAUGE:600:0:U
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775
RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797

and I run custom script which use the following
commands:

rrdupdate  /var/www/cacti/rra/concurrent_calls_14.rrd
1175891520:1234

Whats wrong with my method?
