Dominic -

The error messages are  very straight forward.   They  say that your 
trapd.conf already has traps called  "coldStart" and " authenticationFailure" 
in it, and since the names have to be unique, it won't add these two. . 
You have two choices -- change the names of the trap definition in 
trapd.conf to be something else, preferably using xnmtrap, which is the 
user interface tool for making such changes,  or edit the output script 
you just ran and change the names of these  new traps  to be something 
different, say, for example, "coldstrt" and "authFailure", or whatever you 
like, just so they are unique, and re-run the script. 
That will add these two which were not added the first time.    The trap names 
are arbitrary and this vendor just happened to chosee the 
same names as someone else -- not surprising since "cold start" and 
"authentication failure" are common elements in SNMP.

The BIT STRING construct is no longer valid in SNMP so mib2trap, which 
uses the SNMP V2 libraries, rejects it.
Just change line 2859 from this 

 +2858  mtrBitString OBJECT-TYPE
 +2859      SYNTAX     BIT STRING {

to this:

+2858  mtrBitString OBJECT-TYPE
+2859      SYNTAX     BITS {

which is the equivalent and this problem will go away. 
I don't know, however, if there are others lurking in this MIB
