Did you check the Return-code of your command?
sysmon:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H
<host>
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 831 bytes in 0.005 seconds |
time=0.005336s;;;0.000000 size=831B;;;0
sysmon:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# echo $?
0
sysmon:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./negate
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H <host>"
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 831 bytes in 0.006 seconds |
time=0.006457s;;;0.000000 size=831B;;;0
sysmon:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# echo $?
2

How do you expact the negate-script to change the output of your check?
