I have put a diagnose on the mailinglist for something that is either
the same problem or something similar.

The problem is that nagios can send several commands into the pipe at
once and the other end will only pick up one of them. So the RRD info is
not written. The work around is not to allow Nagios to run things in
parallel. But it will severly limit the amount of hosts and services one
can check with Nagios.

This should have been fixed by using the file interface instead of the
named pipe. The file interface was introduced about a year ago or even
longer back.

Please check the mailinglist archives for more details.
