So, it is falling back to snmp v1?  Usually that indicates that the host
doesn't have HC counters.  There are a couple of debugs you can turn on
to get a fuller picture of why it is falling back.  To turn on
debugging, edit the cfgmaker file change the line that says:
@main::DEBUG=qw();

to
@main::DEBUG=qw(snpo snpd);

There are lots of broken snmp agents in this world.  MRTG can handle
most of the broken ones, but you have to know how they managed to break
it.
