I don't understand what your mapping is from a MIB entry to what 'sensors' handles. You are translating an SNMP 'set' to a config file and running 'sensors -s' ?? I don't understand what's returning (or not returning) a 'null or bad value'. Perhaps you could elaborate on the functions of your script...
