The check_command in a service{} or host{} definition is a reference  
to a corresponding command{} definition, not the actual command line  
that would be run. You should use your current configs as a reference  
for how this is done as well as this documentation --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#command
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service

and to simplify configuration --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html

It will probably look something like --

	...
  	 check_command                   check_netapp
         max_check_attempts              5
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            1
         notification_interval           120
         contact_groups                  admins
         notification_period             24x7
         }

define command {
	command_name	check_netapp
	command_line	$USER1$/check_netapp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C pubic -v  
DISKUSED -w 15 -c 10
}
