Unknown token means that the support isn't compiled in. Did
you install the Ubuntu package, or build from source? It would be
odd for a distro to exclude DISMAN, but if they did your only option
would be to build your own version. See if you have net-snmp-config
(might need the devel package). If so, if will tell you what the
configure options were:

  net-snmp-config --configure-options


Hopefully you've already resolved this. If so, please let us know
what the solution was.
