This works for me on my C2801s. Try:

    Group "Errors-F0/0-LAN" {
        community:    private
        details:   
        drawgrid:    yes
        graph:    yes
        hostname:    10.192.8.1
        Group "Errors-IN" {
            info:     Errors-F0/0-LAN IN
            title:     Errors-F0/0-LAN IN
            ylabel:    Errors INPUT
            Service UDP/SNMP {
                calc:    ave-rate-bits
                label:    Errors-IN
                maxvalue:    10
                messagedn:     Errors-F0/0-LAN INPUT EXCEEDED
                messageup:     Errors-F0/0-LAN INPUT Normal
                note:   
                oid:    ifInErrors.1
            }
        }
