Help: nrpe: Unknown option specified in config file

[John A. Martin]

I'm having trouble with my self written 'check_mmqage.sh' plugin which
seems to work from the command line.

I'm running nrpe version 2.0 using the Debian packages
nagios-nrpe-server-2.0-7 and nagios-nrpe-plugin-2.0-7.

When I restart the nrpe server I see the following.

Now, can you point me to what I am missing or to what I am doing
wrong?
