I had a similar problem while setting up nagios, and I resolved the 
issue by putting the full path to each check command in the 
checkcommands.cfg file instead of relying on the $USER1$ variable 
definition, which was not working for some reason.

For example, the original check_ping definition looked something like 
this:

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command {
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ 
-c $ARG2$ -p 5
}

I modified it to look like this, restarted the nagios service, and the 
check started working.

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command {
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5
}

Hope this helps you out!
