Sounds like the community string was not proper for writing.

example (using a cmu-smmp agent):

> schoenfr@nase:~ 57 > scotty
> % snmp session
> snmp0
> % snmp0 set { {sysContact.0 "Bert Nase" } }
> noSuchName 1 {1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 {OCTET STRING} {Bert Nase}}
> % snmp0 configure -community private
> -community private -address 127.0.0.1 -port 161 -version SNMPv1 -timeout 5 -retries 3
> % snmp0 set { {sysContact.0 "Bert Nase" } }
> {1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 {OCTET STRING} {Bert Nase}}
> % snmp0 get sysContact.0
> {1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 {OCTET STRING} {Bert Nase}}
> %

I hope this helps,
