Stupid check_http Question

[Frank Tanner III]

If I manually type in the line it works.  But when I
configure it in the checkcommands.cfg it fails.  I
even have it hardcoded as 
check_http -H $HOSTNAME$ -a nagios:nagios

Also tried 
check_http -H $HOSTNAME$ -a $ARG1$
and
check_http -H $HOSTNAME$ -a $ARG1$:$ARG2$

It's odd that it works manually.
