I don't have a suggestion for you but to gather more information, what
does the shell show as the exit code after running your check_by_ssh
command above? 

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H myhost -s 18 -C
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 99% -c 90% -p /tmp"
DISK CRITICAL - [606792 kB (61%) free on /dev/md0]
bash-2.05a$ echo $?
2

In your case, the exit code for WARNING is 1, not 2. Nagios uses the
exit code, not the plugin output, to determine service state. If that
exit code is not correct then the state will be wrong.
