so, the index you specified is out of range according to the mib.
snmpset detects this, and refuses to send the request to the agent.
The make snmpset omit this check, use the -Ir option.

In this case snmpset does not have access to the mib file, so it cannot
perform the check. But seems that the agent did something strange in
this case ...
