I am a little new to Traphandles.

I have an agent that is successfully generating traps and sending them
back to my snmp server (nagios) and it is logging them just fine.  

The issue that I am having is that the snmptrapd is not calling our
traphandles.  At first I thought it was the syntax of the traphandle, so
I put in the generic

traphandle default /path/to/trap/handle

just to get it to write a message to the screen to see that snmptrapd is
calling the traphandle.  Still, nothing is happening.  

I am not sure what is causing this or why.  I don't know if the output
of the traphandle is written to a log somewhere or if it is supposed to
write to the screen (if I tell it to) or what.  

Below is my snmptrapd.conf file:

###########################################################################
#
# snmptrapd.conf
#
#   - created by the snmpconf configuration program
#
###########################################################################
# SECTION: Output formatting for traps received.
#
#   Output from snmptrapd is formatted according to the
#   rules defined by the formatting configuration directives.

# format2: How SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 traps are formatted.
#   See the snmptrapd.conf manual page for format string details.
#   arguments: formatstring

  format2  "\n\n(1)HOST ADDRESS: %b\n(2)VARIABLE BINDINGS: %V\n\t%v\n"



###########################################################################
# SECTION: Trap Handlers
#
#   Here we define what programs are run when a trap is
#   received by the trap receiver.

# traphandle: When traps are received, a program can be run.
#   When traps are received, the list of configured trap
#   handles is consulted and any configured program is run.
#   If no handler is found, any handler with "default" as the
#   traphandle type is run instead.  The information contained
#   in trap is passed to the program via standard input (see
#   the snmptrapd.conf manual page for details).
#   
#   arguments: oid|"default" program args
###########################################################################
