Command runs fine manually but not in nagios

[John Herdy]

I have searched this list but wasn't able to find anything.

When I run the following command as the nagios user;
/usr/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -t 120 -l root -i /etc/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa 
-H 130.177.194.149 -C '/usr/nagios/libexec/check_ssh 204.104.28.182'

I get the following result;
SSH OK - OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 (protocol 2.0)

Perfect, excactly how I want it.

I monitor everthing over ssh and therefor I have changed my "Host Check 
Command" to check for an active ssh-conncection, because ping is disabled in 
our network setup.

If I define the command above as a "Host Check Command" I always get a "Host 
Down-alert", with the following notification;
No Information Returned From Host Check

But in a console this runs fine?!?

I have double triple and quadrubble checked my configfiles 
(checkcommands.cfg and hosts.cfg) and I'm positive that they are ok.

I'm running Nagios 1.2

I have no idea how to debug this, because everything works fine on the 
command line. I'm using a dozen hosts with each a dozen services and had no 
problems before. If more information is required please let me know and I 
will provide.

Is anyone able to help me. Please !!!

Thanks a lot!
John.
