I think you meann that you have an snmpd conf file
(/usr/local/snmp/etc/snmpd.conf) but no persistent data file
(/var/snmp/snmpd.conf).

How are you configuring your USM user? Dollars to donuts you're
putting createUser commands in the snmpd conf file instead of the persistent
data file.

I suspect misconfiguration. From the manual concerning createUser:
[SNIP]
Instead of figuring out how to use this directive and where to
put it (see below), just run "net-snmp-config --create-
snmpv3-user" instead, which will add one of these lines to the
right place.
[/SNIP]
Sound advice.
