Most of the SSL errors I get are related to the

allowed_hosts

option.  Check that your Nagios server IP address is on that line 
(separated by commas).

Also, on your nagios server, run the check_nrpe command as the nagios 
user with exactly the same arguments as the Nagios server would have and 
display the error to us.

Cheers.
