nrpep not executing script

Hi all:
I am a newbie to Nagios. I love it...!

I have a check_... command that  executes a shell script and returns 
values. Works perfectly on the host but returns "hh:mm Not a valid file or 
directory" . I checked permissions and they look fine. 
nrpep is running via xinetd and with root permissions.

Also in other cases, I executed shell commands directly for the plug-ins 
but some parts of the returned message are missing.
For example,  I have this in nrpep.cfg

command[check_baxp_script]=ls -lat /var/log/bax/ams/baxp/*.gz | head -n 1 
| awk '{print "[Last execution ended " $6 " at " $7 "]"'}

The $6 is the date and $7 is the modified time of a file. It works fine on 
the host but on the Nagios web page I see 
[Last execution ended Jul at 18]  

instead of

 [Last execution ended 2004-07-18 at 20:40]

It seems that somewhere something is trying to interpret the string..and 
losing some data!

BTW, I am not sure what I should return in case of success and what in 
case of error. Can someone point me to the documentation (could not find 
it in plug-in documentation).
