Look in your apache error logs. Almost certainly the .htaccess file in
your sbin directory isn't being processed properly. Nagios simply looks
at the value of the environment variable REMOTE_USER, set by Apache, to
determine who is logged in. Apache is not setting it for scripts
accessed in the sbin directory.

A less likely problem may be your SELinux restrictions if you have it
enabled. Look in /var/log/messages for 'avc denied' messages related to
the nagios directories.
