Based on the check_command that you have above, the command_line you've told nagios to run is --

    </path/to/plugins>/check_snmp -H <address from host{}> .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.3.1.6.2

As you can see, this is far from complete or formatted properly. I'm not sure what the parameters you are trying to pass are but way you have the command_line set up requires that you pass them as part of the check_command like so --

      define service {
      ...
      check_command 	check_snmp!-o .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2 -C <communitystring> -l Cachebuffers -(... whatever other paramenters you are trying to pass to check_snmp)

You probably want to read the documentation on using arguments in commands, specifically the $ARGx$ macros and check_snmp documenation (man check_snmp) to fully understand why what you tried didn't work.
