Hello. man rrdfetch says something about the format -s accepts:
"--start|-s start (default end-1day) start of the time series. A time in seconds since epoch (1970-01-01) is required. Negative numbers are relative to the current time. By default, one day worth of data will be fetched. See also AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION section for a detailed explanation on ways to specify the start time." So -s 3600 is not valid, except you are trying to access data from Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 UTC 1970 So you should use an unix timestamp (e.g. -s 1309512280) or use a negative number to specify a relative offset.
