Thanks Dave, I can see what the problem is now, as we are running from 
init we are using init's environment, which doesn't have the "HOME" 
environment variable set which means net-snmp won't find the 
snmp.local.conf file and the mibs within this directory.  I set HOME 
from my daemon before calling init_snmp and the problem was solved.

-Martin.
