If $3 == $SERVICESTATE$ you need to do some additional processing as
nsca/nagios on the far side are expecting a numerical value. You'll need
to translate $SERVICESTATE$ into the proper exit code before passing it
on to NSCA. See the example submit_check_result code at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html and verify that
your script performs that translation. 

Additionally, verify that the SERVICESTATE variable is being passed to
submit_check_result properly. It's very likely that it is but to be on
the safe side, try echoing the cmdline to a tmp file somewhere and make
sure that $3 == CRITICAL or OK or whatever the state is before the
translation.
