This sounds good.

Sounds strange since the selection of the target has really nothing to
do with the MIB files you have loaded. Please check whether you can
read other basic information, such as the SNMPv2-MIB::system group.

Adam> .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1
Adam> iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1
Just use "laLoad". The monitoring script will walk the tree rooted at
laLoad and setup monitors for all instances found.

Make sure you can monitor simple standard things. If they work, start
to monitor the UCD agent.
If in doubt where the problem is, try to write a 5 line scotty script
which directly talks to the UCD SNMP agent and see what happens, e.g.
set s [snmp session -address xxxx]
$s walk x laLoad { puts $x }
$s destroy
