The documentation is complete with the exception that SELinux is not
covered.

SElinux restrictions if you're running an OS that has those enabled.
Does the file exist? Is it on an NFS mount?

Good. This would be the most common oversight.

For more specific help, please try to provide us with more specific
information. The exact steps you took to enable external commands,
nagios version and how it was installed, OS version, directory listings
showing permissions, group memberships, pertinent nagios.cfg entries,
etc...
