You're attempting to run the same command nagios is. Look at the
command nagios is running, starting from /usr/bin/printf. Replace the
variables listed with appropriate values.

Wow. You got this one really wrong. Start from /usr/bin/printf.
Replace variables. DO NOT include the $ signs in your replacements.

Also. When you attempted this install, did you add the nagios user and
group? And to follow up on the last question you didn't answer: Since
you're using RHEL4, does your system have selinux enabled?
