Here's your problem, you aren't passing the arguments to check_nrpe, 
only the Hostname

The 'command_line' should read something like this:


command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -t 30 -c $ARG1$


The check "check_ftp" must also be defined in your NRPE config file nrpe.cfg

If this does not make sense to you, then you need to read the manual on 
how NRPE works

This looks better but you are still sending some incorrect arguments, 
see above.  You need to understand how the flags work such as -H and how 
the ! separator works with $ARGx$ arguments.
