check_command:

This is the command that Nagios will run in order to check the status of
the service. There are three command formats that can be used:

 ... snip ..

3. "Raw" Command Line:

You may optionally specify an actual command line to be executed. To do
so you must enclose the entire command line in double quotes. The outer
double quotes will be stripped off before the command is actually
executed. No macros are processed inside of raw command lines.
'

You command  line is wrong.

Try,

command_line "<path_to_plugin>/check_citrix -C test.host.com -P 'App'"

I realise that there may be a problem with the plugin, but doing things 
wrongly and being suprised by the outcome is not helpful.

You must be more accurate about your reports. There is _no_ way that you 
could have 'Tried this exact command on the command line su-ed as nagios 
and it worked fine.'. 

I think you meant, 

'I tried

<path_to_nag_plugins>/check_citrix -C test.host.com -P "App"

su-ed as Nagios and it worked fine.'

When you arev more careful about what you say, you may find that the 
solution to the problem comes to mind.

Characterising and Describing a problem is a good way toward solving it.

Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
