Good.

Well, which version of scotty do you use? The path
/usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.5/site/ is for scotty-2.1.5 and the path
/usr/local/lib/scotty/site/ is for an older version. Note, old scotty
versions used the scotty_mibs variable instead of the tnm(mibs)
variable to define the default set of MIBs.

I guess that you are using an old scotty version (e.g. 2.0.2), while
the text in the FAQ is for 2.1.5. This would explain the behaviour.
