check_http succeeds on command line but fails in nagios

I have a simple PHP page that checks about 1,200 Windows shares across
a network. The page takes about 80-90 seconds to run in a browser.

I can execute the check_http command in the terminal while logged in
as the nagios user and receive positive results.

[nagios at monitor1 /]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I 127.0.0.1
-u "/storage_check.php" -t 300 -s "No errors."
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 81.907 second response time
|time=81.906808s;;;0.000000 size=61452B;;;0

However, when nagios attempts to check this item, it gives me a
"(Service Check Timed Out)" error. I can see nagios running the
command in the process list.

[root at monitor1 html]# ps auxww | grep 127.0
nagios   19727  0.0  0.2  4788 2104 ?        S    13:58   0:00
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I 127.0.0.1 -t 300 -u
/storage_check.php -s No errors.

Here is the Service State information:

Any ideas what could be going wrong? I have other http-based status
checks similar to this one that do not give me any hassle.
