I cannot help you if you don't explain the details.
What exactly happened when you tried changing the underscores to hyphens?

Scott -
The problem as I see it is basically this. The old code (xnmloadmib) did
not enforce ASN.1 encoding standards. The new code does. And underscores
are not valid for an identifier in a MIB. (Perkins and Ellis,
Understanding SNMP MIBs, Prentice-Hall, 1997, p.61). Just change the
underscores to hyphens and it will load fine. And it will make no
difference when you query the agent because this is done by OID not the
identifier.

here is the PMR on mib loading Dell / Sun mibs. I like the mibloader.sh -
good stuff (A little slower than xnmloadmib but nothing obnoxious)

Problem Details
.
Abstract:
TivWeb: Unable to load mibs for web console
.
System Type: Sun
System Model: Sunblade 100
Other related devices:
.
Operating System: Solaris 2.3+
Product Group: NetView for UNIX
Fileset or Version: v7.1
.
Environment:
.
Problem Description:
Greetings, we are attempting to load MIBs for the Dell Openmanage
connection for Tivoli NetView v1.3
The MIBs all load properly under xnmloadmib but most of them cannot be
loaded on the web console due to the following typical error:
=======================================================================
# mibloader.sh --load symmib.mib --commit
Loading Files
........................................................................
..............................................
Parsing the loaded MIBs together with MIBs selected for loading.
Processing File: symmib.mib
ibm.nways.jdm.mib.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 2, column 7.
Encountered: "_" (95), after : ""
Errors were encountered parsing MIBs. The changes will not be committed.
=======================================================================
Top Section of MIB attempting to be loaded:
-- MIB generated by mibgen version 1.0
SYMMIB_MIB-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
enterprises
FROM RFC1155-SMI
InternationalDisplayString
FROM HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
OBJECT-TYPE
FROM RFC-1212
Counter,Gauge,
DisplayString
FROM RFC1213-MIB
Dmi_Date,Dmi_Integer64,
dmiEventDateTime,dmiCompId,dmiEventSeverity,
dmiEventStateKey,dmiEventAssociatedGroup,
dmiEventSystem,dmiEventSubSystem
FROM DMTF-DMI;
=======================================================================
Notice the error message points out line 2, column 7 which, has no data
in it. (Line 2 is blank)
Please advise on how to get these MIBs load. The mibs can be found at:
http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/download/index.asp?fileid=R34408
This file is a tar of traps and mibs for NetView AIX (we are running on
Solaris)
Action Taken: Sending to incoming product queue.

Action Taken:
Spoke with Customer Rep and he has several Dell mibs that are loading
fine through the normal NetView mibloader GUI. But fail when using the
mibloader.sh script. From some testing here it appears there is a
problem with parsing the "_" character. I am not 100% sure of this. I
will continue to look into this.
.
Action Plan:
Researching.
Action Taken:
Attempted to get more information about the error from logging. No
additional useful information was gained from there. I have both the mib
file and mibloader log with debug turned on, but cannot reach dfs at
this time. If you pick up this call, let me know and I'll send you the
information via email.
.
Action Plan:
Passing to the backend for further diagnosis.
