getting error "Return code of 127...Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists."

[Daniel Finn]

Debian Woody testing/unstable 2.4.18-bf2.4

Software was installed from source using nagios-1.2.tar.gz &
nagios-plugins-1.3.1.tar.gz.  All settings were left to default for both
installations.

from nagios.cfg:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
resource_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg


from resource.cfg:
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/

from checkcommands.cfg:
# 'check_smtp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_smtp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$
        }


and in my nagios.log file i'm getting the following:

[1078171131] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'DNS' on
host 'medusa' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run
actually exists.
[1078171131] HOST NOTIFICATION: dfinn;medusa;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;(No
output!)
[1078171071] HOST NOTIFICATION:
dfinn;hercules;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after
10 seconds

as you can see here the plugins are installed and seem to work fine when
run manually:

wolverine:/usr/local/nagios/etc# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -H
192.168.0.2
SMTP OK - 0 second response time


Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
