OK - then I'd be inclined to check whether the agent is

   a)  actually receiving the requests at all
          (or are some firewall settings getting in the way)
   b)  reading the expected access control settings

Tracing the 'snmpwalk' command probably won't help.
It sounds more likely that the problem lies on the agent side.

Have your customer shut down the SNMP agent
  (probably "/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmp stop")
and then run

        snmpd -f -Le -d

In another window, run the snmpwalk command again.
Does the agent show incoming packet dumps or not?

If it does, then they'll need to look at the access control
settings in the snmpd.conf file.
If it doesn't, then they'll need to look at the firewall
settings - probably in the '/etc/sysconfig/iptables' file.

Or the SNMP agent may be displaying some other useful output,
of course.
