*ahem*
Why do you do an snmpWALK ? To just fetch an SNMP entry use snmpget.
Show us the output of your snmpget command. I guess it looks like this:

maus at kanga:~$  snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.1.222 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.4
IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.4 = Counter32: 262658353

See the comment about the format above.
I guess you are calling rrdtool update /home/zabbix/switch.rrd N:IF-MIB::ifInOctets.4 = Counter32: 262658353:IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.4 = Counter32: 262658353
and this will definetively NOT work.

Did you run your script by hand? Did it produce any error messages?

Aeeehhhhh ... whats wrong with sleep 300 ?
(ah and you will sleep for 30 seconds. not 300).

HTH,
