I have mrtg set up correctly and graphing many things.

I made a small php script which grepped ifconfig and echo'ed the
server's total in and out bytes.

The MRTG graph only displays 1 value and it only logs one value. The
initial line in the log shows that it got both values, but
doesn't log it any more. The max bytes is well over the input
bytes.

end of php script:
--------
echo bytes_in . "
echo bytes_out . "
--------

mrtg code:
--------
Target[bandwidth]: `lynx -source

Options[bandwidth]:growright,nopercent, noinfo,gauge,
nobanner
Maxbytes[bandwidth]:10000000000
