Passing a string from services to commands for check_http

I've had trouble passing a string from a service definition to a
command, and getting the command to execute properly.

in services.cfg:
define service{
        use                             remote-service-critical
        host_name                       workflow-server
        service_description             Workflow Automation Server
        check_command                   check_http_port_string!XXXX!lackfin
}

in commands.cfg:
define command {
   command_name check_http_port_string
   command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -p
$ARG1$ -s $ARG2$
}


supplied as the second argument in the service definition, the string
'lackfin' will work, but not the string 'Blackfin' nor
'lackfin_logo_small' - they will all work from the command line however.
Is there some way to handle strings in this context that I'm missing?

Many TIA,

Tom
