Peter, You rule mate! I stumbled on exactly the same problem today and spend so much time figuring out what was going wrong. In my case I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I found that the only change I need to do is in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. I added there agentaddress <local_ip_address>. In this case it works also when I'm using snmpwalk with "localhost" option. So I haven't touched the default configuration. Thanks a lot for this post.
