Note the plugin is called check_disk, the command_name is called 
check_local_disk.  check_disk can only check disks on the system that it 
is running.  To check local disks on remote systems, you have to execute 
the plugin on the remote system.  To do that - install the plugins on the 
remote system and use either NRPE or check_by_ssh to retrieve the results 
of the check.
