The pass script can be invoked in two different ways:

       script -g  OID
or
       script -n  OID

for GET and GETNEXT requests respectively.

You need to check how it was invoked, in order to respond accordingly.
You can *NOT* simply respond with a fixed OID - otherwise the
agent will get confused (exactly as you are seeing!).

Yes - Implement the pass script according to the specification
defined in the snmpd.conf(5) man page.

In particular, note the paragraph starting
    "If the command cannot return an appropriate varbind....."
