Do you have a directory named /var/lib/ntop, owned by ntop? If so, how about
the directories below that? My ntop installation stores all the ntop files in
/usr/local/share (e.g., /usr/local/share/ntop/rrd/interfaces, etc). It sounds
like either a compile time setting was incorrect or your ntop command line
arguments have the wrong value for the rrd directory, or perhaps somehow the
diriectories were supposed to be created in /var/lib but that didn't happen for
some reason.

Also where is the ntop log files located?
The only log file I can see is /var/log/ntop/access.log which
basically tells me who accessed nlog at what time.
Any URLs/links would be good :)
