Perhaps a bit too significant.

From the rrdtool create page:

"A long heartbeat can span multiple ``steps'', which means it is
acceptable to have multiple PDPs calculated from a single sample. An
extreme example of this might be a ``step'' of 5 minutes and a
``heartbeat'' of one day, in which case a single sample every day will
result in all the PDPs for that entire day period being set to the same
average rate."

So you should probably wait 6000 seconds to see the database getting
filled.
