External Command problems

I'm running Nagios 1.0b5 on RedHat7.3. I cannot get the external commands
to run. Every time I try, I receive the following message.
Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
The external command file may be missing. Nagios may not be running,
and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.
I have looked back at previous posts and have not been able to find
anything over the past couple months.
I have followed the instructions in the documentation. Here are the
details.
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Aug 17 22:52 nagios.cmd
/usr/local/var/rw
drwxrwS--- 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Aug 17 22:52 rw
Apache runs as the apache user. Here's an example output from ps.
apache 14540 0.0 0.3 81988 8372 ? S 22:52 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
I have created the group nagiocmd and added nagios and apache to this
group.
nagios.cfg
check_external_commands=1
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
command_check_interval=-1
cgi.cfg
use_authentication=1
All lines beginning with 'authorized_for' I have an '*' as the value.
I'm using base apache authentication which appears to be working fine. If
I click on 'Process Info' from my Nagios site, it says OK for process
status, so, I think this is okay.
I'm stumped and have never been able to get this to work, even under
Netsaint. I would greatly appreciate your time to look into this.
