As Marc pointed out in his response, having the ./var instead of /var  
in the path to the .rrd file is wrong. you want /var WITHOUT the  
period. Also, note that the -l switch only affects the display of the  
output. It is not needed in normal operation, unless you really want  
to see the output as bits rather than Kb, Mb, etc. The plugin will  
auto-choose the best option based on the data if you leave this switch  
out. But the main problem is the period before that slash. Remove it,  
and it should work.
