    Basically you'll have to wait longer. The reports use summarized data and
    the summary process only runs once a day and when it does, it will only
    summarize data 12 hours old or older. You can look for the summary process
    in smsdbmon.log, look for "File Usage Summary" or "Monthly Usage Summary".
