If the directory existed, it would be... well, /home/nagios.  Sounds
like you have a Nagios user created with a nonexistant home directory.
This would be broken at the system level, not in your Nagios
configuration.

Normally, though, this wouldn't be fatal.  Check you Nagios logs to see
why it won't start.
