[TEC] snmp adapter problems

I am trying to use the Tivoli SNMP adapter to pick up Insight Manager traps on 
some linux boxes.  I originally installed the HP-provided components (the OID & 
CDS files) but soon discovered that they were in fact missing a lot of traps 
that IM was throwing.  I had the IM admin here send me his mibs, and then I 
used the mib2tec script to convert them ... all told, his mibs contain about 
1100 traps whereas the HP-provided IM definitions contained only about 700 
traps.  We ran a test where an admin pulled a disk (broke the mirror) which 
generated a 3034 trap ... 'cpqDa6LogDrvStatusChange' as defined in the MIBs.  
But this trap did not generate a Tivoli Event.  I reviewed the CDS & OID files, 
and found that this trap is not defined in the HP-provided integration files.

Great.

So I merged all the mibs, ran it through mib2tec and manually edited the 
results as needed just to make it run, but it is not working properly.  I've 
got every trap from the MIBs clearly defined in the CDS file, but the adapter 
still won't generate a Tivoli event when we test it.  Again, we pulled a disk, 
generated a 3034 trap, and it failed to process properly ... here's my trace ( 
I set everything in the tecad_snmp.err file to write to a log):

FAILED???? I have no idea why it failed at this point.



I cannot see anything to indicate why this trap failed ("returning FALSE" ... 
line 849885) ... can anybody offer some hints or tips on how to debug this or 
otherwise figure out what is going on?
