Ok

I reset everything according to your specs

i noticed a couple of funny things.
The log file doesn't come out at perfparse.log
it comes out as perfparse.log.20070305.log
and perfparse.drop
come out as perfparse.drop.20070305.log

2007/03/05 08:08:23 [perfparsed.c:176   13199 ] Perfparsed successfully

dunno if that's effecting anything but i also get the following errors 
in the log file:

I removed the service-perfdata.dat file and let it create a new pipe there
