Using '!' in check_* argument

[MAD]

I'm using Nagios 3.0.6 on a CentOS 5.2

I tryed escaping the (!) with  a (\) but it didn't work. I forgot to tell
(and I've just realized it is probably important) I use NagiosQL to create
the service. Is it possible that NagiosQL didn't escape the (! ) but the (\)
when he writes the cfg file ?
