You're calling ssh without a full path.  It could be possible that
nagios is starting up without having a full PATH env defined, causing
it not to find ssh.  You could add some debugging to the script to
find out:

echo $PATH > /tmp/evthandle.log

Check to see if the output is sane, and includes a path to SSH.
