You're calling check_snmp wrong, at least the version that's included
with the 1.4 plugins and anything prior. I have no idea what '<temp
probe name>' is supposed to represent but you're missing a -H (host to
check) directive and -wv, -cv aren't valid; they should be -w and -c
respectively. Your main problem is that you didn't specify the host to
check though. Use check_snmp --help to determine the correct parameters.
