Yep stupid mistake ..... the options I was using were specific to the
"specialized MfD agent" which I tested a long time ago. I should not have
used the same options when moving towards executing the "snmpd" master agent.
My "snmpd" command really did not make that much sense.

/export/home/rosent1/snmp/usr/local/sbin/snmpd &

Try adding '-Dread_config' to this snmpwalk command.
Is it reading the expected snmp.conf file?
