Well then...

Qmail is a special case- you must be root to check the queue size. 
Rather than running NRPE as root (yuck) I chose an elaborate but 
functional workaround.

In utils.pm my QMAIL_QSTAT = "/usr/local/nrpe/qmail-qstat.sh"

That shell script contains "sudo /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat", and 
/etc/sudoers is set up so the nagios user can run 
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat as root with no password.

Hope that helps!
