Have you checked you have connectivity between your nagios host and the
remote machine?

This caught me out first time round. Bloody firewalls!!

A simple telnet monitored-host <5666>

Should result in a connection

Thanks for your response: yes, I did reload both Nagios and restarted
the daemon for nrpe.  
Here is some additional info:

>From nrpe.cfg
command[check_logs1]=/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_logfiles -t
420 - f /xxx/nrpe/config/myconfig_1.conf

service definition:

define service{
        use                             generic-service

        host_name                       cn-3
        service_description             PROD Logs1
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              1
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  OT
        notifications_enabled           1
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_logs1
name                            cn-3_MySE-DVCN_logs1
        }

My next step is to add the -t 240 to the service (i.e. check_command
check_nrpe!check_logs1 -t 240)

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You posted a timeout for check_logfiles and the above looks correct. Did
you also pass an increased timeout to check_nrpe that I expect is
calling check_logfiles on the remote machine? After increasing the
timeout for check_nrpe, did you restart or reload nagios? If so, please
post the service definition, command definition as well as example
plugin output (or nagios.log entry) when it fails.
