[collectd] rrdc_update failed with status -1

Hi,
I had the same problem

Collectd is run at root
RRDCached is run at rrdcached.

When  rrd files are created they are owned by root.root, so rrdcached cannot write 
chmod 777 (yes it's bad) on your rrds files and it'll work

I'm searching for a greater solution.

Best regards
