The first pass is run *before* the MIB files are loaded in, and is used to allow the config files to adjust where to look. The only configure directives that are processed are those registered using 'netsnmp_ds_register_premib()' The second pass is run *after* the MIB files have been loaded, and processes all the configure directives that were registered using 'netsnmp_ds_register_config()'. These can therefore make use of MIB object names (which the premib directives can't). > The first time it didn't seem to recognize the persistentDir registered using netsnmp_ds_register_config(ASN_OCTET_STR, "snmp", "persistentDir",...

You could try tweaking the "persistentDir" registration so that it uses netsnmp_ds_register_premib() instead. I'm not sure whether this is safe or not, but it's probably worth a try.
