Skip the commas and it should be ok. One possible issue could be if
you're using NRPE to run the checks for this, as NRPE will limit the
output to 1024 chars, so Nagios (and also PNP) will receive damaged
perfdata.

Try

title1=value1;warning1;critical1;; title2=value2;warning2;critical2;;

or

title1=value1;warning1;critical title2=value2;warning2;critical2

If it's NRPE that's giving you issues, try running the check over SSH.
If you already are, updating the perfdata to a correct format should
work.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
