Your httpd.conf file is not correct...you do not have authorizations set
PER THE DOCS...
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
order allow,deny
allow from all
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
Yours should read...
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/>
AllowOveride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Directory>
also of course you need a .htaccess in the /lib/cgi directory pointing
to your htaccessuers file
