I got it! The plugin check_ssl_certificate that I downloaded had
installation instructions inside the code. I would have thought I would need
to look in there for that but in any case the solution was there.

The script needed to know the path of the nagios plugins directory and by
default it had "usr/lib/nagios/plugins". I changed it to the correct path to
the plugins and it worked.

Hopes this helps any one else out there.
