After Bitman gave me the tip for the rrd_hwreapply I compared my code to
that and realized the value recorded by COUNTER should be multiplied by
step, which made a lot of sense and made me feel dumb. :-)

BTW, rrd_hwreapply only worked for me because I wanted only the RRA with
1 step resolution. Be aware that any other RRA with more than 1 data
point per row (in my case, 5min step sample), will be stripped out after
"conversion". That script works in a completely different way than MRTG
when converting from rateup to rrd (which preserves all RRAs).

The idea behind rrd_hwreapply is to allow you to experiment different
parameters on the same data sample, which helps a lot when tunning the
aberrant behavior detection for certain graphs.

Now, my new question is: is there a way to insert values directly into
specific RRAs that have more than 1 PDP per row? In better english: is
there a way to insert a value directly into the "weekly resolution" RRA?

I said in the beginning I did not need to preserve data that old, but
I'd like to it if I could. ;-)
