So what exactly is the permissions of the folder that nagios.cmd resides
in? The rw folder that is...

You do need special permissions there, something like:

drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd   4096 Oct 30 12:29 rw

nagios is the nagios process, while nagcmd is a group with nagios and
your apache user in.

Good luck, that looks on the horizon eventually for us as well.
