You'll need to post the check_iflocal command{} definition. That's  
what determines how the command line is created. It should use the  
$ARG1$, $ARG2$ and $ARG3$ macros in the appropriate places for the  
substitution you're expecting.

Better yet, read Example 2 of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html
