mailscanner MRTG trouble

Hello,

I'm getting these mailed from cron.d every 5 minutes.:

Subject: Cron  env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mailscanner-mrtg.cfg 
 >> /var/log/mrtg/mailscanner-mrtg.log

Rateup WARNING: /usr/bin/rateup could not read the primary log file for 
sendmail
Rateup ERROR: /usr/bin/rateup found sendmail's log file was corrupt
           or not in sorted order:
time: 1167264000.Rateup WARNING: /usr/bin/rateup The backup log file for 
sendmail was invalid as well
ERROR: Skipping webupdates because rateup did not return anything sensible
WARNING: rateup died from Signal 0
  with Exit Value 1 when doing router 'sendmail'
  Signal was 0, Returncode was 1


The best that I can figure when I look everything over is that for some 
reason it is no longer able to read the virus scan counts correctly. The 
MRTG graphs show everything else as working normally. The only change I 
come up with when I run diff on all the configuration files against 
older ones in backup is that I changed the SNMP string. But I don't see 
how that could effect parsing one part of the log files.

Anyhow, its driving me nuts. Would anybody have any suggestions on where 
else to look for the trouble?
