I have had a very frustrating experience with MRTG recently, but on
x86 platform. It took me around 2 days to figure out that all my
zeros came from... the MaxBytes parameter. Make sure it is indeed
greater than whatever values you poll!!!

Steps to troubleshoot this kind of issues would be
- try with snmpget to poll the same OIDs
- if you get zeros, your snmpd configuration might be the issue
(or you might just not have any traffic going through or you
might not be polling the correct ifIndex)
- if you do not get zeros, but mrtg reports zeros, look at your
  MaxBytes
- In any case, check the MRTG log files
