I'd strongly suggest that you upgrade to 5.2.2, or 5.3.0.1.
The 5.0.x line is extremely old code now, and things have
moved on a lot since then.

Why do you want to send *two* copies of each trap to each
of these destinations?  Please use *EITHER* "trapsink" *OR*
"informsink" for any given host receiver.  Not both.

That looks good.
Presumably you also have a "createUser internal ..."
entry somewhere?

What do you see if you walk the usmUserSecurityName object?

What do you see if you walk the prTable?  Has the corresponding
prErrorFlag been set?

Try running the agent with '-Dmte' - what debug output do you see?
