-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT
This allows any requests to the local SNMP daemon, which should be running on 161. If you're making SNMP requests; however, this line means nothing. When you make a request, the request will go to port 161 on the destination end, but the local end will be random. The easiest way to fix this is to use the following line instead:
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
This allows any packets in that are related to an existing connection. Once you make the request, the host will allow the response back in. Also, I doubt you need the TCP line, or the line for port 162. You'd only need TCP for weird devices, and 162 if you're dealing with SNMP traps.
Hope this helps.
