Yes - that's because you've declared things as being "fixed size".

There should be a discussion of this on the mailing list,
though I don't have a reference to hand. Very briefly,
the watcher structure contains two size fields - max_size
and data_size. These are both initialised to the same value
by the netsnmp_create_watcher_info() call.
If you've got a variable-length string, you'll have to set
one of these manually.
Either:
winfo[i] = netsnmp_create_watcher_info((strScalars),
strlen((strScalars)),
ASN_OCTET_STR, WATCHER_MAX_SIZE);
winfo[i]->max_size = sizeof(strScalars);
or:
winfo[i] = netsnmp_create_watcher_info((strScalars),
sizeof((strScalars)),
ASN_OCTET_STR, WATCHER_MAX_SIZE);
winfo[i]->data_size = strlen(strScalars);
