This is different than the 3 failing examples you give below --

> > /var/nagios/status.log 5 '/usr/nagios/bin/nagios'

The 'nagios' at the end is the word(s) it is searching for in the
process list. I'll bet that when you 'ps aux' it shows up solely as
'nagios' and not any of the variations you've tried above. Modify the
command to be 

nagios_check_command=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_nagios
/var/nagios/status.log 5 'nagios'

*note* the nagios check command runs as your web server user, not
nagios. That shouldn't be an issue but it may if you have a restrictive
web server configuration.
