strange error

[Frank Fuhrmann]

When I try to enable notification for all hosts in a particular
hostgroup, I get the following errors:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Could not stat() command file '/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!

The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running,
and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for
processing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The command file exists:

$ ls -l /opt/nagios/var/rw/
insgesamt 8
drwxrws---  2 nagios nogroup 4096 2005-08-10 13:26 .
drwxrwxr-x  4 nagios nogroup 4096 2005-08-10 13:40 ..
prw-rw----  1 nagios nogroup    0 2005-08-10 13:26 nagios.cmd

Nagios is running and check_external_commands is set to 1 in nagios.cfg.

$ ps ax | grep nagios
23160 ?        Ss     0:00 /opt/nagios/bin/nsca
-c /opt/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg
2856 ?        Ss     0:00 /opt/nagios/bin/nagios
-d /opt/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg


What is the problem here? 

Frank
