The Tcl command looks good. I have two ideas:

1) You are using an old version of scotty (because I changed the name
of the session handle to snmp0 some time ago) which is very likely
to have some serious bugs (I fixed lots of them while moving to
the 2.0.0 version).

2) You are not using the right community string for your NCD. But since
you are able to change other variables, this is not very likely.

You should upgrade to a new scotty version and if this does not solve
the problem, you should inspect the variables contained in the
mib-2.snmp group. The agent should increase a counter if there is
something wrong with the packet or if the community name is invalid or
whatever goes wrong.
