There are environment differences between when you run manually and  
when nagios does (i.e. there really is none in the latter case). If  
this plugin relies on any environment variables ($PATH, etc), you may  
not have them. Since we don't really know anything about what the  
plugin is doing, I can only suggest that you write in logging at  
important steps in the check process to see where it's hanging and  
work from there.
