check_rpc returns Unknown "Program -H is not defined"

[Scott Dungan]

I am having a problem with the check_rpc command and I am hoping
someone can point out where I am going wrong.

when I run the following from the terminal:

  sh-3.00$ ./check_rpc -H 131.215.64.60 nfs -c 4

I get this:

  OK: RPC program nfs version 4 udp running

I have created the following in checkcommands.cfg:

  # 'check_rpc' command definition
  define command{
          command_name    check_rpc
          command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ nfs -c 4
          }

I have created the following in services.cfg:

define service{
         host_name               redondo
         service_description     NFS
         is_volatile             0
         check_period            24x7
         max_check_attempts      3
         normal_check_interval   2
         retry_check_interval    1
         contact_groups          gps-test
         notification_interval   720
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    u,c,r
         check_command           check_rpc
         }

When Nagios executes the check command for the service on the host it 
returns an "UNKNOWN" status with "Program -H is not defined" in the 
status information column. Removing the -H in the checkcommands.cfg 
causes a syntax error as is expected.

I must be missing something very basic here or am I loosing my mind at 
5:06pm on a Friday once again?
