Yes and must be created by nagios. I suspected this was your problem. Remove the file you've created.

That's not what I asked for ;) check_external_commands must be set to 1. I'll bet it's 0. Enabling this causes nagios to create the external command pipe (nagios.cmd) and watch for input there (including passive check results which are external commands).
