That tells the tools *where* to find the MIB files.
But you also need to tell the tools *which* MIB files to load.
e.g. using the '-m' option.

If you don't specify this, they will load the default set of MIBs
as configured when the tools were compiled.

Because you are not telling the tools to load the TEJASCARD-MIB
Try adding the option
    -m +TEJASCARD-MIB

Here you are explicitly telling the snmptranslate tool to load the
TEJASCARD-MIB file (as part of specify the OID to translate)

Again, you are explicitly telling snmpgetnext to load the
TEJASCARD-MIB file (as part of specify the OID to retrieve)
