That looks okay to me.  It wouldn't do any harm to put the string in
quotes in the service definition:

check_command                   check_http_port_string!XXXX!"lackfin"

It might be an idea to do a view source on the page you are checking
to see that there aren't any extraneous codes in it for example, what
you thought was:

  Blackfin

might actually be

 [font size=2]B[/font]lackfin

or something like that?

hth,
