The following command will definitely *not* work, because your key file 
must immediately folow the "-i" if you provide it (and I'd just leave it 
and the keyfile name out, since you're using a default key location, 
anyway).

Do you get the same thing with '/usr/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H
remotecomputer -C "/usr/nagios/plugins/check_swap -w 50% -c 10%"'?
