- From check_snmp --help

 -n, --next
    Use SNMP GETNEXT instead of SNMP GET

This cause SNMP to get the NEXT oid. The result is correct but instead
of getting the oid you specified it returns the first one that follow.

Remove that switch from your check command and you should be good.

BTW a better way to test is to add "-v" to check_snmp. It will print the
exact command used that you can copy-paste to test.
