I assume this is being called as an event handler. It appears that  
it's taking longer than 10 seconds for the script that NRPE is calling  
to finish. Is that the case? If so, you'll probably want to adjust the  
value of event_handler_timeout in nagios config and include an  
appropriate -to argument to check_nrpe when making the call.
