Are trying to monitor a remote host or the own server that is running
nagios?

Are you running this command-line check as the nagios user?

There are tons of patches that disallow non-root users from seeing who

"restricted proc" or some such and most of them make the /proc 
filesystem readable to members of a certain group (usually named "proc").
