If you're submitting the command via the nagios cgis then either you've
missed a step in the documentation and your web server isn't running as
group nagiocmd or there is a directory higher than rw that is not
allowing that group access. Your web server error_log might provide more
insight as well as the output of the following command --
echo "PID  Running As   Friendly Name"; ps -eo pid,user,fname | grep
http; echo -en "\ngroup: "; grep nagiocmd /etc/group

If you're submitting the command via an external script then that script
isn't running as user nagios or group nagiocmd, or there is a directory
higher than rw that is not allowing that group access.
