No, it doesn't. The check_hpasm plugin will automatically try to use
sudo unless it is run as root. Add the following to your /etc/sudoers
file:

  xyzuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/hpasmcli
  xyzuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/hpacucli

Also, you need to disable "requiretty", i.e. comment out this line:

  Defaults    requiretty

That is all :)

Interestingly, I already had the above in my /etc/sudoers when I was
getting the error. I tried to run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
as xyzuser and it prompted me for a password (apparently it was trying
to use sudo on its own).

Allowing /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm in /etc/sudoers to
xyzuser and then defining the check_hpasm command in nrpe.cfg prefixed
with sudo fixed the problem.
