A few possible reasons --
	- you're not editing the right command (i.e. there are multiple  
check_ping definitions)
	- your master nagios timeout is set to 10 seconds (unlikely given  
your ssh check success)
	- you're not restarting nagios after changing it
	- you have multiple nagios daemons running, one or more with the old  
config.
