Need help using check_by_ssh with check_disk

I'm running Nagios 2.10 with plugins 1.4.10 running on:
Linux nagioshost 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:56:28 EST 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

System information on the two remote hosts is:

Linux remotehost1 2.6.9-11.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri May 20 18:26:27 EDT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Linux remotehost2 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


My check (in commands.cfg as check_disk_by_ssh) is:

$USER1$/libexec/check_by_ssh -E -i identify.txt -l nagios -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$"

The services.cmd has:

check_disk_by_ssh!10%!5%

This test runs fine on remotehost1, but on remotehost2 it returns back
"UNKNOWN - check_by_ssh: Remote command
'/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5%' returned status
255".  At first, I thought this could be a 32 vs. 64-bit issue, but
the Nagios host is 64-bit while both remotes are 32.

>From the command line, both hosts work fine and 'echo $?' shows 0 for
both.  Logging into the remote boxes and running check_disk manually
is fine as well.  Using -v doesn't help since it doesn't show tracing
information.

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?  Are there any other
tricks I can try for debugging this?  Any help would be appreciated
immensely.

Thanks!
