I suspect the problem is the '$' sign in the password, as this is the variable identifier.

It would help if you included the error messages you are seeing as they might give a clue.

Try with this:

--authpassword='snm$10'

(using single quotes), or this:

--authpassword='snm\$10'

(using single quotes and an escape for the $ sign)

One of these should work, although I'm not actually using SNMPv3 here myself.  You might even need two \ before the $.
