[mrtg] 'did not eval into defined data' when querying explicit OIDs

[Brian Stiff]

Hello-
Thanks Tobias and all for your software and your effort supporting the
community.

I have a running configuration to monitor interface activity on a Cisco IOS
router.  No problems with the initials setup.  I'm adding configuration to
MRTG to monitor IOS Firewall activity, using the new Cisco Unified Firewall
MIB which became available in 12.4(6)T software in February:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/products_feature_guide09186a00805ee103.html

I don't get any values for the two OIDs I'm trying to monitor, Active
Sessions and Half-Open Sessions.  Instead, the log indicates the OIDs 'did
not eval into defined data'.  I've used the iReasoning MIB Browser to verify
that the values in the OIDs change, and as mentioned, interface counters are
functioning well in mrtg.

Do I need to load the MIB if I specify the OID?  I can reply with a link to
the MIB itself if you'll need it.

Help will be appreciated, I've been unable to determine what's causing the
'did not eval' message.  Thanks.

Here are the relevant sections of the MRTG config I'm trying to use:
