Actually I'd lean more towards it being a case of "old and busted". When I 
hit this problem it wasn't a matter of the status.dat location (since "-F 
/path/to/status.file" is one of the _required_ CLI args). Upgrade to 
Plugins 1.4.3 and you'll be ok. If you don't want to upgrade all your 
plugins at once just compile the package and copy the check_nagios binary 
out instead of running "make install".
