check_nt via NSCx Errors

[bru1n at comcast.net]

I see these messages in my Nagios logs, and on the web-console; check_nt: Could not parse arguments

[05-03-2005 14:49:11] SERVICE ALERT: xptest;check-win-disk;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;check_nt: Could not parse arguments
[05-04-2005 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE: xptest;check-win-disk;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;check_nt: Could not parse arguments

I've tried 2 different versions of NSClient. The stable 2.0.1, and the new ++. From my nagios box (miata) the command line works, and returns the correct RC. It does not return an OK|WARNING|CRITICAL, and the monitor shows an unknown status. It is not only USEDDISKSPACE (in my examples of the problem), but all of the -v options that require a w, c , or l have trouble. I've pasted the relevant CLI stuff below.

There was a thread in nagiosplug-devel; not so much help.
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5394287

And this thread; but the solution (website) there doesn't exist any longer or is down atm.
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6715070

Other than the advice to use the correct versions, there does not seem to be much info from sourceforge lists, or straight up googlage.

Admittedly, this is my first attempt at getting windows boxes monitored. Do you folks have any ideas what my next step is, or steps to correct?

Note: I tried changing the order of the w, c, and l parms to see if it made a difference there. It didn't.
