Help! nrpe_nt, service check when name contains $ problem

[Evan Touchett]

I am trying to get nagios and nrpe to check a windows 2003 server service.  The problem I am experiencing is that the name of the service contains a $ in it.  
 
The service name in the registry on the windows server is "MSSQL$BKUPEXEC"
 
In services.cfg on the linux box running nagios 2.0b, I have the following for the service check.
 
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       TapeBackup
        service_description             Service - BE MSSQL
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  windows-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_nt_service!MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC
        }
 
But I get a warning with the results showing " MSSQL$BKUPEXEC$: Unknown  "  as you can see it is adding another $ at then endof the service name.  Can anyone suggest a way to pass the name correctly?
 
Thanks
