You may need to install nmap first:
or
but what is the output of these commands when run on the XI command line:
?

nmap was already installed in my system, if i am correct do u mean nmap on the virtual host or nagios?

or RHN Classic support will be disabled.

Maybe try a different community string besides '!plut0'. Can you use 'public'?

Are you sure the requests are making it to their intended destination? If so, are they taking the same route back to the XI machine? Running a tcpdump on the XI command line while you run the snmpwalk command again on another terminal window may show something useful:
or write it to a file for easy readability in wireshark:
