Which distribution are you using? My init-script (based on the one from 
Dag Wieers Nagios-RPM) starts nagios this way:

case "$1" in

         start)
                 echo "Starting network monitor: nagios"
                 $NagiosBin -v $NagiosCfgFile > /dev/null 2>&1;
                 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                         su - $NagiosUser -c "/usr/bin/ndo2db -c 
/etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg"
                         su - $NagiosUser -c "touch 
$NagiosVarDir/nagios.log $NagiosRetentionFile"
                         rm -f $NagiosCommandFile
                         touch $NagiosRunFile
                         chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile
                         $NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile
