1. The form submission is failing, and there is no archdate being received.
You can check your web server logs for this, and find what URL is being requested when you select a date from the dropdown. It should have 'arch=yyyy-mm-dd' in the options somewhere.
2. The option is being passed, but is today's date.
You can check this by verifying the logs as in (1), and also choosing a date further in the past.
3. The date is being received, and is parsed as not being today, but is not believed to be valid for this target.
This should not be possible (as otherwise how would it get into the menu?), but may occur in strange situations with mod_perl or similar. To test for this, enable debug mode (debug=1 in the routers2.conf) and then loog at the HTML for the central frame. There will be a large comment section at the end, giving amongst other things the archdate information and any error messages from the archive date validation.
Make sure that the directory holding the RRD files has a subdirectory 'archive' that is readable and executable by the httpd process. Unless you have set archive-mode=hash then this should have a subdirectory for the date, which again should be read/execute.
4. The interface ID is invalid for this target.
If this is the case, then you would get an error message in the debug comments, as in (3).
