bdearlove, my weathermap install is on the same box as Zenoss.  So, using 
weathermap's editor.php I:
-click on the link
-enter the path to the rrd file in the "Data Source" field
-click the submit button

/aside
The only tricky thing I found was specifying the in/out rrd's.  It took a 
couple reads of the weathermap documentation before the light went on.

Zenoss gives you ifInOctets and ifOutOctets rrd's so on that DataSource line it 
would be written like this:
Code:

path_to_rrd/ifInOctets_ifInOctets.rrd:-:ds0 
path_to_rrd/ifOutOctets_ifOutOctets.rrd:ds0:-



It's subtle.  The ds0 just needs to go in the correct spot to denote whether 
the rrd will be used to calculate the incoming or outgoing link on the 
weathermap
/aside

Then when I run "./weathermap --config configs/MyMap --output mymap.png 
--htmloutput mymap.html" I get the graph with a pretty link colors.

The cronjob will run the "./weathermap ..." command every 60 seconds or so.  I 
think Zenoss updates rrd files every five minutes by default, but I doubt 
everything is on the same schedule.  Thuss the every 60 seconds cron job.

Since my weathermap resides on the Zenoss box there is no need to copy files.  
I just read the ones Zenoss is making.
