Is this device the same system that you are sending the 'snmptrap'
request from?
Because if "snmptrap -d ...." shows the request being sent, but
"snmptrapd -d ..."
doesn't show it arriving, then this does sound very much like the trap
being dropped somewhere. And the most likely cause (certainly on a
Linux system) would be the local firewall settings.

What O/S are you running the snmptrapd receiver on?

What happens if you send the trap from the same system as the receiver?
Does 'snmptrapd -d ...' show anything?

That looks fine to me.
And if "snmptrap -d ...." shows a packet being sent out, then it's
probably not the snmptrap command where the problem lies.
