It's supposed to do just that.

Are you running the beta-release of the 'all-flavour compatible' 
check_nrpe? I pretty much brained that one and removed the 
anti-transparency messages. It's been re-added in NRPE 2.2, which is 
still in the workshop (code is in flux and can't be released just yet).
