I had this problem with the notification tools I use (sms_client). If
everything is alright nagios runs as a non-root user, ie. 'nagios'. Could
you verify if the check_ping plugin can be ran by the nagios user? Also,
if you have added/removed/changed any subgroups the Nagios user is in, you
have to restart Nagios!

Hope this helps.
