inability to locate plugins

[Greg Vickers]

Brad,

This most often happens when your command definitions are not pointing to 
your executables, or there is a permission problem on your executables, 
i.e. nagios doesn't have permission to execute them.

Double-check your command definitions and make sure they are pointing to 
your executables (expand out the command_line manually and run it from the 
command prompt for example) and check that your executables are in group 
'nagios' or that the user nagios in in the group associated with your 
executables.

HTH,
Greg
