If you always want CRITICAL to be changed to WARNING for this test,  
you could use the negate plugin.

  ./negate --help
negate v1859 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11)
Copyright (c) 2002-2007 Nagios Plugin Development Team
	<nagiosplug-devel at lists.sourceforge.net>

Negates the status of a plugin (returns OK for CRITICAL and vice-versa).
Additional switches can be used to control which state becomes what.


Usage:negate [-t timeout] [-owcu STATE] <definition of wrapped plugin>
         [snippage]
  -c,--critical=STATUS

     STATUS can be 'OK', 'WARNING', 'CRITICAL' or 'UNKNOWN' without  
single
     quotes. Numeric values are accepted. If nothing is specified,  
permutes
     OK and CRITICAL.
