"/home/jesterj/" is probably chowned to 700 anyway so the NRPE daemon 
won't be able to access and execute it anyway.

Try running it manually with sudo to see the actual result:
sudo -u nagios /usr/local/bin/python 
/home/jesterj/report_loadscript_error_log.py

Also, you should copy your script in a more appropriate location such as 
/usr/local/bin or even /usr/lib/nagios/plugins if you have installed 
Nagios on a Debian or Ubuntu server.

You can also try to start NRPE with "debug=1":

"How to go about debugging other problems...

When debugging problems it may be useful to edit the NRPE configuration 
file and change the debug=0 entry to debug=1. Once you do that, restart 
the NRPE daemon if it is running as a standalone daemon. After you try 
using the check_nrpe plugin again, you should be able to see some 
debugging information in the log files of the remote host. Check your 
logs carefully – they should be able to help provide clues as to where 
the problem lies..."
