I just discovered that the vserver rrd's were created when using
"Local" mode, but they weren't created when using client/server mode.

It hadn't occurred to me before that enabling plugins on the server
side would be relevant, but enabling the plugin on the server did
appear to fix the problem.  I had assumed that enabling plugins was
only relevant on the client since the server wasn't "using" the
plugin, just collecting the data it received from the clients.
