The plugin that NRPE is running on the remote host is exiting  
(failing?) with an exit code of 255, when run as the user NRPE runs  
as. Did you test as that user on the remote host? Does the plugin/ 
script/whateveritis rely on environment variables or $PATH that likely  
do not exist when run by NRPE? Does the plugin/script/whateveritis  
rely on external programs that rely on environment variables or $PATH  
that might not exist or be what you expect?

Does debug mode for NRPE provide anything interesting?

Beyond that, you're going to have to provide more specific information  
about the plugin, OS, etc.
