both of us (you and I) can't see any problems with your programs option 
processing.

Perhaps the mistake is in the checkcommands.cfg or services.cfg.

checkcommands.cfg defines the CLI of the program: path + switches + 
option macros. It also defines a short name that is used in 
services.cfg.

services.cfg defines what checks are applied to a host and implicity 
defines the macro values $HOSTNAME$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ etc used by Nagios in 
the merge of the checkcommands.cfg to get the actual program to pass to 
/bin/sh.

Your checkcommand.cfg should have a entry like

define command{
        command_name    check_cisco
        command_line    $USER1$/check_cisco -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ 
-i $ARG2$
        }

and a services.cfg like

define service{
        use                             generic-service

        host_name                       my_beautiful_router
        service_description             How are the interfaces today
        contact_groups                  network-admins
        check_command                   check_cisco!public!Serial1/1.1
        }

# /bin/sh may complain about / and .
# that is if they are not filtered by Nag ..


Yours sincerely.
