IIRC, even if you specify the -t flag, Nagios has its own timeout setting 
in the conf files that will over ride it (-t can be made longer, but only 
up to the time in the conf file).  So you need to bump up that value too 
(not that I recall what it is off the top of my head).  But it does work, 
once everything is in place -- We have a check that takes about 5 minutes 
to complete, and its check script works fine.
