OK, I've attached it. Please keep in mind a few things:

1) There is already a check_rrd plugin in the plugins distro. I don't
remember if this is a standard plugin or part of the contrib directory,
but I believe it is the former. This one did not do exactly what I
wanted, which is why I wrote my own which ONLY checks bandwidth rrds.
However, the original may work just fine for you.

2) I haven't touched this code in a few months, so I'm a little foggy
about what issues still need to be worked out. However, I have been
using it in a production environment and it has been working well. When
I finished coding and put it into production, I still didn't feel that
it was ready to be contributed to the distro.

3) I'm sure that there are others out there who can script much better
than myself. I welcome any suggestions. If someone wants to clean it up
and contribute it, please feel free, otherwise I will most likely get
back to it sometime before year-end.
