The (master) agent should create this directory and
socket when it's required.

No.
The socket itself ("master") should be removed automatically
when the agent shuts down.  So it might be worth checking
that no other SNMP agent is currently running.

Alternatively, how do you shut down the agent?
*Please* don't tell me you use "kill -9"!

Just start the agent (as root).
As long as it's configured to run as an AgentX
master, it should create this directory/socket
automatically.

Do you have the line

	master	agentx

in your snmpd.conf file?
