I'm very much doubting your Smartcenter. You stated smartcenter version
Local host is not a FireWall-1 module
This is Check Point VPN-1(TM) & FireWall-1(R) NGX (R60) HFA_03, Hotfix 603 - Build 015

Well mine states: 'This is Check Point SmartCenter Server NGX (R60) HFA_03, Hotfix 603 - Build 001'
This is the output of a SPLAT Smartcenter. Was the HFA correctly installed on your Smartcenter?? As I can recall NGX without HFA applied will give the output with build 015. Are there any _HFA files in $FWDIR/lib??
