A return code (as returned by exit(2)) of 2 means critical. Read the 
plugin developer guidelines. They're somewhere on the sourceforge 
nagiosplug site (or at least linked to from there).

What's the value of $STATE_CRITICAL when you exit() with it? Print it 
first and ask questions later, and try running the check manually using 
the strict pragma.
