Your check command on cs is probably generating output to STDERR. Did
you perform your command line test as the nagios user? Try adding '2>&1'
to the end of your command definition ala

command_line    $USER1$/check_fping $HOSTADDRESS$ -n 1 -w5000.0 100
-c5000.0 100 2>&1

Are you using check_fping or is it a home-brew plugin?
