Do any of these files exist?
If so, what are the contents?

I have no idea - I've never used this particular suite of tools.

I'd suggest you try using a single-shot tool (equivalent to our "snmpget")
rather than a full SNMP walk, if they include such a thing.   See if there's
a way of turning on debugging, or a raw packet dump.

Failing that, try restarting the agent using
     snmpd -f -Le -d
             (plus any other necessary options), and run a single
query against it.
What does the packet dump look like?
