OK - so it *is* actually saving the persistent config file
(at least when it starts up). That's useful.

Yes - it should. Immediately after this value is read in,
it should be incremented (snmpv3.c/engineBoots_conf)
What happens if you run the agent with the -Dsnmpv3 debug
flag? That should display the engineBoots value immediately
after it's been read in and incremented.
Another possibility springs to mind.
If the engineID changes, the boot count will be reset.
Is "oldEngineID" the same every time you stop and restart?
Even if you remove the snmpd.conf file?
