check load oddity

[DAve]

This is making no sense to me at all. It is obvious to me that my load
is less than the critical threshold, why is the plugin reporting a
critical state?

[root at monitor1 plugins]# ./check_load 2.0 1.8 1.5 3.0 2.8 2.5
CRITICAL - load average: 1.96, 1.01, 0.75|load1=1.960;0.000;0.000;0;
load5=1.010;0.000;0.000;0; load15=0.750;0.000;0.000;0;

Usage:check_load [-r] -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15

Options:
 -h, --help
    Print detailed help screen
 -V, --version
    Print version information
 -w, --warning=WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15
    Exit with WARNING status if load average exceeds WLOADn
 -c, --critical=CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15
    Exit with CRITICAL status if load average exceed CLOADn
    the load average format is the same used by "uptime" and "w"
 -r, --percpu
    Divide the load averages by the number of CPUs (when possible)

Completely confused with this one.
