since check_ping can have troubles finding correct syntax for ping,
depending on OS, the fallback output is the syntax of the command issued
so you can troubleshoot. That's the message you are seeing.

Since it runs on the command line, I suspect either your OS is hardened
and the unprivleged nagios user cannot run ping.
