Didn't post the checkcommands.cfg, which was the cause of the problem :-

define command {
                command_name    check_ping
                command_line   /usr/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 10:20% -c 60:100%
                }

Here was evidence that the check_ping command ignored arguments passwd to it, and I've changed it to :-
command_line    /usr/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

I'll double-check the origin of the file, and possibly raise a bug with the relevant Debian package maintainer.
