That won't be relevant.
Problems with the agent will purely depend on what the agent can do
The client side won't require any special privileges.

Zero length? Even if you restart the agent?
That sounds as if the agent isn't actually logging there.
Try running the agent by hand (perhaps on a non-standard port),
using something like
snmpd -f -Le .... 9999
(including any other settings that the main agent would normally specify)
and then run the query against localhost:9999
That way you should see any output from the agent.

Hmmm... That's a relatively old version of the agent.
But I've just tried with the current 5.3.x code,
which should be reasonably similar. And I get the same
behaviour as before - running unprivileged complains
about /var/net-snmp/.snmp-exec-cache
Running the agent as root runs the pass script correctly.
