Are the permissions right? Note the permissions on the carbon-cache daemon
and the owners of the $GRAPHITE/storage/ tree (not just the root folder).

I have found that carbon-cache, unless told otherwise, will run as your
apache user (apache on CentOS, www-data on ubuntu), and the directory tree
must be owned by that user for carbon-cache to be able to write out data.

Try also using the plaintext protocol manually following instructions here:
http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.x/feeding-carbon.html

PORT=2003
SERVER=graphite.your.org
echo "local.random.diceroll 4 `date +%s`" | nc ${SERVER} ${PORT};

Good luck,
Brian
