I can check the plug in manually and it results back in the correct expiry time but if I configure it in Nagios it returns a totally different date here is the configuration

Without seeing any examples of how your hosts are configured it's hard
to say for sure, but it sounds like the "address" parameter in your
hosts' configs is not set to the same address(es) that you're checking 
on the command line.

Got a host definition you can show us?
