I'd suggest something more akin to the agentXperms token, so set actual
permissions, instead of assuming what is there is correct.

The agentgroup has been processed, but that only 'remembers' the value. It
isn't used until later, and unfortunately 'later' is after it has done the
initial persistent store save, which is why you see the current behavior.
You could try patching snmpd.c to move the groupid change right before the
snmp_store(), and see if that helps.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
