Problems with resolving MIB names/enums

Hello List, 

I'm trying to use the Proliant templates from the forum (
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20298&hilit=proliant) to 
monitor the temperature of a few servers. 

The Data Query XML seems to rely on cacti resolving the temperature sensor 
names correctly - this seems to be a problem on my installation (0.8.7e 
from ubuntu lucid) 

MIBS are installed and activated correctly. a manual snmpwalk works 
correctly: 
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c cmt host .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.3 
... ignore a few warnings 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.1 = INTEGER: ambient(11) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.2 = INTEGER: cpu(6) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.4 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.5 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.6 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.7 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.9 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.11 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.12 = INTEGER: powerSupply(10) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.13 = INTEGER: powerSupply(10) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.14 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.15 = INTEGER: cpu(6) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.16 = INTEGER: cpu(6) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.17 = INTEGER: memory(7) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.18 = INTEGER: cpu(6) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.19 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.20 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.21 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.22 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.23 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.24 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.25 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.26 = INTEGER: system(3) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.27 = INTEGER: storage(8) 
CPQHLTH-MIB::cpqHeTemperatureLocale.1.28 = INTEGER: system(3) 

but the data query only gets the index ID, not the friendly names:

As those new HP servers really have a lot of sensors, I'm a bit unwilling 
of having to rename every sensor. I searched the forum and it seems MIB 
resolving only works for some users, but no solution for those where it 
doesn't work. Can anybody help? As mentioned before, MIBs are installed, 
active (via snmp.conf) and commandline snmpwalk resolves them correctly 
and without any extra arguments - just cacti doesn't get them.
