problem with check_disk.. returns state UNKNOWN

How do you check the disk usage of remote systems?  Nagios is not (yet) 
all powerful. - plugins for local systems checks need to be installed 
locally on every target system.

something is not right with the output below - RedHat with "df -Pk" should 
output 6 columns of data not 5.
