Running Windows batch files through NRPE

[Alex Burger]

You are running NSClient++ as a service which is using the SYSTEM 
account.  The SYSTEM account does not have access to network resources. 
  One solution is to create a domain user account and then change the 
NSClient++ service to use the new account.  Also make sure the account 
has access to the batch file.

As someone else mentioned it may make more sense to use a scheduled task 
but it also needs to run as a network account that has access.  You may 
want to look at psexec from Sysinternals.
