Is 'docbase' your nagios machine? You are aware that the check_disk
plugin (not exactly sure what check_local_disk is) is not a
network-aware test? If you're wanting to use it to check disk space on
remote hosts you'll need to install the plugin on that machine _and_ use
something like NRPE to execute it and get the results.
