Rrdtool does not allow the use of '/' in a ds name, from the rrdtool man
page at
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/manual/rrdcreate.html

"ds-name is the name you will use to reference this particular data
source from an RRD. A ds-name must be 1 to 19 characters long in the
characters [a-zA-Z0-9_]."
