2 things:

1. Are you running this as root? The # at the beginning of the line 
suggests so. Try running it as the user account that nrpe runs as.

2. You are passing args through nrpe, this is not good practice. It also 
will not work unless you have dont_blame_nrpe=1 in your nrpe.cfg on the
remote host against which you are executing the nrpe call. I would 
recommend not passing args but instead defining more check_commands with
the args already in them, this is more secure as it is more tightly 
controlled.
