Problems with SNMP during OpenNMS setup

Hey Guys,

I apologize for the back-to-back posts, however... I've been trying to 
get my brain around net-snmp all day!  And it's driving me nuts!

I'm trying to get net-snmp configured, so that I can  use it with/within 
OpenNMS. 

At the end of the default /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf , I have the following:

###############################################################################
# Further Information
#
#  See the snmpd.conf manual page, and the output of "snmpd -H".
# VACM configuration entries
rwuser initial
# lets add the new user we'll create too:
rwuser opennmsUser
# USM configuration entries
createUser initial MD5 setup_passphrase DES


Then I run:

[root@localhost snmp]# snmpusm -v3 -u initial -n "" -l authNoPriv -a MD5 
-A setup_passphrase localhost create opennmsUser initial

And receive:

snmpset: Unknown user name

And I cannot understand WHY?!  I have even taken the Windows approach 
and removed the net-snmp/utils/libs RPMS and installed them again.. just 
to try and establish default... but even that doesn't work.

All help in UNDERSTANDING what is going on is appreciated.

I don't know why snmp is so hard for me to understand.
