Thanks for those who caught the missing "0".  The particular branch I was 
in only had one additional variable under it which was CPU.  Adding the 
instance fixed it.

The funny thing is that when I was "probing" for the information using 
snmpwalk (UCD's version)  I was getting nothing but end of MIB or no more 
variables.

Thanks for the help.

Paul
