This could be caused by any number of reasons..

1. Did you compile nagios / nagios-plugins on this server (as opposed to 
compiling on some other server and copying the binaries over)
2. Run   'ldd /path/to/check_ping' and send back the output
3. Check if check_ping and/or /usr/bin/ping is setuid
4. Can you run /usr/bin/ping as the nagios user


You could alternatively try the  check_icmp  program which runs the icmp 
ping itself, as opposed to the check_ping program which is a wrapper 
around /usr/bin/ping.  check_icmp also takes exactly the same command 
arguments.  Just remember that check_icmp needs to be setuid:  chmod'ed 
to 4555 and ownership as root
