It's highly probable the collectd package you installed on CentOS 6 doesn't
have the Python plugin compiled in.

Running `rpm -ql collectd | grep python` will tell you if you've got any
Python bits in the installed package.

You likely need to find an alternative package with the Python plugin, or
build collectd from source.

Cheers,
Lindsay
