This could be a problem with rrdtool, and not Ganglia.  I think that
the .rrd file format is not compatible between 32bit and 64bit
systems.  Are you doing anything like that?  If you are moving between
64bit hardware, are you sure that both are/were 64bit programs, and
not 32bit binaries instead?

There may be a workaround thought: if you use 'rrdtool dump', you will
get a (large) XML file with all of the data.  You should be able to
then use 'rrdtool restore' to read this back into the new .rrd file.
