There are a lot of things that could be broken here, and not enough information to tell you which one.

Check your logs to make sure snmptt is getting the traps, and make sure that the trap(s) you're receiving are defined in its configs. If they are, verify that the EXEC command in the snmptt config is valid, and that it updates the status in Nagios if you run it manually.

Do you ever see the result submitted to Nagios in the Nagios logs? If you do, check for errors in the command it's receiving. If you don't, your problem is farther back in the chain, with snmptt or snmptrapd.
