The error message is realtively clear, as far as error messages go.  It
is trying to write to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd but that
directory doesn't exist.

Either you need to create it (and make sure it's writeable by the Nagios
user), or you need to fix your configuration to write to the correct
place.
