I have removed the spaces and added a colon, so
&green Routing_Engines_Temperature: 44
creates a filename that looks like: /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<hostname>/temperature.Routing_Engine_Temperature:.rrd
And I still get no data.

I'm pretty sure it's either...I find it a bit frustrating that we can't limit where it looks for that info...if you happen to have a non-related comment with a space or colon and a number, Xymon will attempt to parse it as a tracked variable as well.

I use a colon to separate value and data. It works.

Get rid of the spaces. Your status should read "&green Routing_Engine_Temperature 43". Make sure you send the data in Celsius and let xymon do the conversion in the graphs.cfg file.
I haven't tried using a colon for separation of data and value. I have been using just a space and it works fine for me on 4.3.7.

I tried putting in my own rrd script to collect the data, but there seems to be a built-in one overriding mine. So, I tried to format my test output to work with that, but I'm just getting rrd files that lack any data.
The main line of the test is like this: &green Routing Engine Temperature 43
It causes the creation of a file like this: /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<hostname>/temperature.Routing_Engine_Temperature.rrd
When I use "rrdtool dump" I still get data like this and an empty graph. <!-- 2015-06-11 11:20:00 PDT / 1434046800 --> <row><v>NaN</v></row> <!-- 2015-06-11 11:25:00 PDT / 1434047100 --> <row><v>NaN</v></row>
If someone knows the correct format for temperature tests, I'd be set.
Also, we've got snmp collecting memory data for some equipment that we'd like to override internal graphing on specific hosts if that can be done. Reformatting output on that may be a bit harder.
The obvious answer is to change the test names for our custom ones, but my boss is very opposed to creating new columns in xymon.
