collecting and graphing ifHCInOctets and ifHCOutOctets...

Hello Everybody,

I'm having trouble collecting Counter64 ifHCInOctets and  
ifHCOutOctets from some Cisco 7609s we manage and I was hoping that  
one of you could help me figure out what is going on.

In the Defaults file at the top of the config tree(/home/cricket/ 
cricket-config ), I've tried snmp-version = 2 and = 2c

The HC counters are defined:

OID    ifHCInOctets           1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6
OID    ifHCInUcastPkts        1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.7
OID    ifHCOutOctets          1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10
OID    ifHCOutUcastPkts       1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.11

I've added the datasources:

dataSource ifHCInOctets
     ds-source        =   snmp://%snmp%/ifHCInOctets.%inst%

dataSource ifHCOutOctets
     ds-source        =   snmp://%snmp%/ifHCOutOctets.%inst%

Created the graphs:

graph   ifHCInOctets
     color       =   dark-green
     draw-as     =       AREA
     legend      =       "Average bits in"
     y-axis      =       "bits per second"
     units       =       "bits/sec"
     scale       =   8,*
     bytes       = true

graph   ifHCOutOctets
     color       =  blue
     legend      =  "Average bits out"
     y-axis      =  "bits per second"
     units       =  "bits/sec"
     scale       =  8,*
     bytes       = true

And then under the router-interfaces branch of the config tree, under  
Defaults, I have added under the targetType standard-interface:

targetType  standard-interface
     ds  =   "ifInOctets, ifOutOctets, ifInErrors,
                 ifOutErrors, ifInUcastPackets, ifOutUcastPackets,
                 ifHCInOctets, ifHCOutOctets"
     view    =   "Octets: ifInOctets ifOutOctets,
                     UcastPackets: ifInUcastPackets ifOutUcastPackets,
                     Errors: ifInErrors ifOutErrors,
                     HCOctets: ifHCInOctets, ifHCOutOctets"

Running the collector in debug mode (community strings censored), I see:

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be picking up  
the ifHCInOctets.1 and ifHCOutOctets.1 even though I can see them  
through an snmp-walk:

[cricket@monitor cricket-config]$ snmpwalk -v2c -c **** DAL7609-1 |  
grep ifHCInOct |less
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.1 = Counter64: 36277571331970
[cricket@monitor cricket-config]$ snmpwalk -v2c -c **** DAL7609-1 |  
grep ifHCOutOct |less
IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.1 = Counter64: 41586950263850

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
