Still having check_by_ssh problems

one thought might be to change your command definitions from what you have:
define command{
command_name check_remote_mem
command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -f -l sysadmin
-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "~/plugins/check_mem.pl -u -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$"
}
to something that isn't user specific. That is, the ~ will be ~nagios/ when
nagios runs the command (or whatever user you have configured Nagios to run
as), and ~blair/ when you run it. Probably better to say something like:
define command{
command_name check_remote_mem
command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -f -l sysadmin
-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "/home/blair/plugins/check_mem.pl -u -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$"
}
that way, you can be guarenteed of which executable is running.
this might not be the problem, but i thought i'd make the suggestion anyway.

This is what I get when I execute from the Nagios host as nagios user a
remote check_disk:
$ ./libexec13b2/check_by_ssh -H w.x.y.z -l nagios -i
/usr/local/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -C /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 80%
-c 70% -m -p /export/home
DISK CRITICAL - [10421765 kB (64%) free on /export/home]
$ echo $?
2
What is the result when you call your checks as nagios user from your nagios
host from the command line? Can you send an example?
