Odd values from external script graph

I'm sure I'm just missing a config directive somewhere, but I can't seem to figure out what. I have a MRTG graph I have set up to show query counts on my database. I reset the stats after each time I pull them, so I have the MRTG Options gauge directive specified. On a test database with no active users, I then ran twelve queries, and verified that the script I am running to get the data showed 12 as the output on the first line. However, when MRTG next ran, it showed a last value of only 4 rather than the 12 my script is returning. To make it even more odd, I've sometimes seen values of 1.6 or other non-integer numbers, even though my script only returns integer values. What am I missing? My config is shown below.

On a mostly unrelated note, is there any way to not have a MaxBytes directive? Since I am displaying a query count, it is essentially unlimited, although obviously I could just use some value that is so ridiculously high it is unlikely to ever be exceeded.

Thanks!
