checking disk space of remote hosts

I just set this up this morning so lets see...

If you are trying to execute check_disk on remote host then the docs 
(README file that came with your NRPE package) says it clearly that it is 
a risk. Hard code whatever arguments you have to pass. I think it is 
obvious why.

Yes. As far as I understand, check_nrpe on the monitoring hosts requests 
the nrpe daemon on the client to execute the relevant plugin.

There is a good example in the README file I mentioned. Apart from that 
there is nothing else. But if you have successfully set up and configured 
Nagios on a host implementing this should be rather easy. Again read that 
README file thoroughly.
