The problem is fixed on the current Git tree (2.0.x and 2.1.x branches).
Thank you Cajus.

Since the 2.x agent it's now possible to pass different target in the same time:
 --local /tmp --stdout --server server1,server2,server3

In the 2.0.x agent, server default value is ocsinventory-ng . This means
even if you don't add a --server XXXX parameter the agent will try to contact
a server called ocsinventory-ng (like OCS agent). We decided to change that
with the 2.1 release. There is no default server anymore now.

Cheers
