Ok. You had included it above but I see that it's using the correct
arguments now. The problem you're reporting though is that the host
check_command is returning bad results yet the host definition you've
pasted above doesn't specify a host check_command. Is it part of the
generc-host template or possibly a hostgroup template? If so, can you
send that? If you don't specify a host check_command then nagios won't
attempt a host check so it must be somewhere if you're seeing bad output
from it.
