If this is what you've got in there literally, it's not going to work  
as $ARG1$ == 'Xxx', which is not a numeric port. If you've obfuscated  
this for some reason, I don't understand why you did so. Assuming that  
'Xxx (port)' is just a literal port *number* (i.e. 21) then this  
should work fine.

To see what nagios is trying to execute, and hopefully provide  
direction for you, change the command_line above to be

command_line    echo "$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p  $ARG1$  
$ARG2$" >> /tmp/tcp.out

and check the contents of /tmp/tcp.out.
