I haven't, but there's a few things you should fix.  I'm not sure
if any of them will help, but you never know.

Firstly, the plugin expects a single letter for the drive - my
version doesn't even allow "C:", so try changing it to just "C".
Since it does work from the command line this probably won't help
anything.

Secondly, the warning and critical thresholds are given as the
percentage of disc space used - so your setting of 90% and 75%
is a bit odd (over 75% is critical, but over 90% is only a warning?)
so try swapping those around.

Finally, double-check the $USER1$ macro points to your plugin
directory, and try running the command as the Nagios user (su nagios).
