[collectd] OS X 10.5.8 network plugin only sends data when terminated

[Tim Henrich]

Update:
After letting this sit for a while and run, it appears as though the server
is indeed receiving data from the OS X client, but it's receiving 10 minutes
worth of data in one giant bulk update.  I have "Interval" set to 60 in the
configuration and the data being received does appear to be honoring that.

I've also noticed the timestamp that collectd on OS X is reporting is in UTC
while on CentOS it is not.  I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it
or not.
