[collectd] client server problem

Greetings,

	I am setting up collectd on 2 debian boxen, the server is squeeze
(collectd 4.10.1) and the client is wheezy (5.1.0).

Couple of things:

* I'm expecting the 5.1.0 client's data to show up in the
4.10.1's /var/lib/collectd/rrd/<hostname>, but it does not.

* I keep getting:
network plugin: parse_packet: Received truncated packet, try increasing
`MaxPacketSize'
even though I've set the size to 65535 on both hosts.
