check_procs count going haywire on Ubuntu - still broken

I spoke too soon. That broke all of my other more complex process checking
and it now sees 0 procs for everything else. What are the other caveats
for -C ?

Looking for: 
/usr/sbin/pdns_server --config-name=private --daemon --guardian=yes

by using: 
command[check_pdns_config_priv]=/bin/bash -c
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1:1 -c 1:1 -C \"pdns_server
--config-name=private\""

Now reports: PROCS CRITICAL: 0 processes with command name 'pdns_server
--config-name=private'
