Are you running scotty on the same host as HP Open View? Some agents
don't accept set requests from IP addresses they don't like.
It is generally difficult to help with this kind of problem
reports. Please try to get more information. Run tcpdump to catch the
packets send by HP Open View and by scotty. See if they contain
interesting differences. If you have can't decode the packets, ask
someone who is able to read BER encoded packets. If you can't find
someone locally, send the packet dumps including a good explanation
what you did, what you expected to happen, what actually happened (or
did not happen) to me via private mail and I will spend a few minutes
on it.
