This is good and tells me that either the command{} definition isn't  
the same as your test or there are permission problems. Can you post  
the relevant service{} and command{} definitions? Can you post the  
permissions on the mountpoints? The nagios user should have rx access  
to those directories and above.

Are you performing your test as the nagios/nrpe user on the remote  
machine or as root? You shouldn't test as root as there can be  
significant permission discrepancies compared to the nagios user.
