DISK CRITICAL - /home/user/.gvfs is not accessible: Permission denied

These two problems really are not Nagios problems at all. In both cases, 
the error messages actually tell you what's wrong.

Going backwards: connection refused means that some SSH client (or maybe 
a Nagios check) was trying to connect to an SSH server, but whatever SSH 
server it was trying to connect to wasn't running. Are you using a 
check_ssh check anywhere in Nagios? Make sure it connects to the right 
server, make sure that all the required firewall ports are open, etc.

Permission denied means, well, that the permission was denied. That may 
be perfectly legit; the user that nagios is running under may simply not 
have permission to that directory. Warning: DO NOT simply relax 
permissions without talking to whoever set up the permissions in the 
first place or understanding what is really happening. It would solve 
the error, but at the same time, you might compromise security.
