This might indicate that nrpe on the remote host is not able to run the
plugin. Have you tried running it as it is defined in nrpe.cfg as the
user that nrpe is running as on the remote machine? It is entirely
possible that omreport may currently not be executable by that user
(i.e. only root). Do any other nrpe checks work on that machine?
