At this point I've tried everything I know to do to troubleshoot this
issue. I've even recompiled Nagios with the default Performance Data
method and setup commands to append the data to the log files, which
produced the same results (or lack of results) as the File Based
perfdata method. 

Let me ask the following of anyone who is currently using Performance
Data, be it file based or default method:
When you look in the nagios log file, and see the entries pertaining to
the checks that would return perfdata, is the pipe and $PERFDATA$ value
included in the log entry?

I'm not seeing perdata in my nagios.log, I only see an entry such as:

[1085599923] SERVICE ALERT: monitor2;System Load Average;OK;HARD;1;OK -
load average: 1.09, 1.09, 1.15

Should the perfdata be shown here as well?

As I've shown before, it works fine from the command line:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec: sudo ./check_load -w 3,3,3 -c 5,5,5
OK - load average: 1.39, 1.10, 1.09|load1=1;3;5;0 load5=1;3;5;0
load15=1;3;5;0

Any help greatly appreciated. I really don't want to give up on this
feature.
