Jim,
I've actually restarted the whole server.

Marc, have another coffee and take another look at Daniel's output. :)
He used the 'groups' command which identifies which groups a given username
belongs to. Looks like both apache and nagios belong to the nagiocmd group
(aside from their own groups).
Daniel, all I can suggest at this point is to start checking logfiles: for
Apache, /var/log/messages, the Nagios logfiles. You might also want to try
doing an strace.
This might be overkill, but it seems Daniel has done The Right Things
otherwise.
Although... Daniel, could you indulge us, and competely shutdown both nagios
and apache, do a ps to confirm that both are down (and "pkill -9" them if
they aren't), then restart them and see if that doesn't help...?
Food for thought.

Excuse my disbelief, but with unixoide operating systems I still think
that if you do something right, it will work.
Could you please post the output of:
ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
ps -ef | grep httpd
grep <user obtained from previous command> /etc/group
Please try to avoid mailing in HTML. At least on this list.
