Error messages generated by the daemon are prefixed 'NRPE:', so it's 
safe to assume that everything else comes from the plugin.

In earlier versions, check_nrpe prefixed its error messages with 
'CHECK_NRPE:', but that's been done away with in working copy of 
repository to follow general plugin defaults more closely.
