OK, yes, I grok that.  I guess I would want the collector to be *able*
to run checks, if it doesn't get timely information from the pollers.
I'm assuming that's why it's even trying in the first place - it
doesn't see a result in a timely manner, so it thinks it should run
one.

Which circles back to my original question - why can't it run the
check?  Why isn't it finding what it needs to find?  The workers
are running as the nagios user, and I don't see anything that appears
pertinent in the mod_gearman_worker.conf file...  What am I missing?
Neither the gearmand.log nor the mod_gearman_worker.log files seem
to have any complaints (but I haven't bumped up the debug on them yet).

Thanks so much for your help!

Benny
