Incorrect command line arguments supplied

[rod at arwholesalers.com]

I'm moving Nagios to a new server. I've installed and set-up as per 
instructions and its running fine except for all the UNIX check commands 
that use check_nrpe.
They all show the "Incorrect command line arguments supplied" error  in 
status information.

System Details:
Nagios Server:
        Fedora Core 4
        Nagios v1.2
        Plugins v1.30
        NRPE v1.8
 
Monitored Servers:
        Solaris 8, 9 and RHEL3.
        Plugins - NetSaint v 1.2.9-4 (also tried v1.3 and 1.4)
        NRPE v1.5 (also tried v1.8 and v2.4))

I still have the old Nagios server running and the above configuration 
works fine for all services - Windows, linux and Unix.

Pre Flight check shows no errors or warnings. I am running the same 
configuration on the new server as the old so I just tarred the ETC config 
files. Checked file permission's are OK.
libexec files are executable. Check-ping works fine and interestingly so 
does check_http, check_dns and check_ftp on my RHEL server. As well there 
are no problems checking Windows services using check_nt_...
The only problem is with the check_nrpe on UNIX.

This is my config for zombie process, as an example. All check_nrpe 
processes give the same error. 

checkcommands.cfg
        define command {
        command_name                    check_local_procs
        command_line                       $USER1$/check_procs -w $ARG1$ 
-c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
        }

  services.cfg
        define service {
        use                                             generic-service
        host_name                               mercury
        service_description                     Zombie Processes
        contact_groups                          sysadmins
        check_command check_nrpe!check_zombie_procs
        } 


nrpe.cfg command on monitored server..
        command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs 
5 10 Z


I've been hacking around for a week now, re-compiling trying different 
combos of NRPE and plugins. I even set up Ubuntu server to see if the 
Problem was Fedora. No Luck.
 Any ideas would be gratefully accepted 

Thanks.
