Check_disk only monitors the local disks.  If you want to monitor disks on
a remote machine, try setting up ssh keys and using check_by_ssh:

services.cfg:

# DISK
# arg1 warning percentage free
# arg2 critical percentage free
# service depends on SSH
define service{
        use                             qab-service
        service_description             DISK
        hostgroup_name                  qab-nonlocal
        check_command                   check-remote-disk!20%!10%
        }

checkcommands.cfg:

#
# check-remote-disk
define command{
        command_name    check-remote-disk
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
"$USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -m"
        }

HTH.
