I can't really help with it, but it seems odd that you're trying to
monitor it from Windows rather than from the NFS server itself. I guess
that's could be a NAS, but even if it is can't you use snmp on it? Come
NAS have shell access too...

Are you sure the numbers are not disk or filesystem blocks? you would
have to multiply them by a certain number to get the right value...

There's probably a program out them that monitor Windows disks either as
a local script (you can run it under NRPE_NT) or using snmp; you should
start looking on NagiosExchange (which I believe is MonitoringExchange
now...).

There it check_snmp too...
