What SNMP version/admin info do the incoming traps have?
Are they traps or INFORM requests?

Each incoming INFORM request will be acknowledged by a
RESPONSE - regardless of how (or whether) it is subsequently
processed.  So yes - that behaviour sounds correct for INFORM
requests.

What sort of notifications are being sent to that system?
A RESPONSE will only sent in acknowledgement of an
INFORM.  If the incoming notification is a TRAP, then no
there won't be a response.
