permissions on nagios.cmd

Everyone here has been great about helping me on my previous problem - and
now I have a new one.

I have read the FAQ and recreated the file and check permissions several
times, but no matter what I do I can't get past:

*Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
*
*The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or
Nagios may not be checking external commands. *
*An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.*

I should explain - I rebuilt nagios on a new system and then rsync'ed key
config files. I was moving from 32 bit to 64 bit and wanted to recompile
everything with 64 bit libraries.

At first I thought the rsync caused some problems. So following the FAQ - I
deleted /usr/local/nagios/var/rw and recreated.

drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagios   4096 Sep 14 08:44 rw
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Sep 14 08:44 nagios.cmd


and both the user and group that runs nagios is nagios. I added apache to
the nagios group. Bust still the error occurs. I have restarted and
rebooted. I do have selinux running, but even tried "permissive" to see if
that was the problem. I also ran

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/share/
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/var

and still no luck.

Help?!
