The problem is somewhere in your custom script, since that's what
generates the OID that is being fed to the snmptrap command.

The command you should end up with ought to look somewhat like

   snmptrap -v1 -c public \
      172.16.10.100 \
      "" \
      hobbit.foo.com \
      0 0 "" \
      1.3.6.1.4.1.7058.1 \
      s "This is a Hobbit trap message"

172.16.10.100 is the HPOV monitor IP-address, "hobbit.foo.com" is the
hostname reporting the trap, "1.3.6...." is the trap OID.

At least, this generates an SNMP trap that Ethereal decodes as I would
expect.
