Actually, i got exactly the same problem on my systems. Could you have a 
look to your "/opt/compaq"-directory and check its permissions? Unter 
normal conditions, nagios user will not be allowed to go there, 
permissions are set to 750 on my machine. So, without being able to read 
it, the nagios users cannot execute /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli.

I was not willing to change the permissions on all my machines, so i 
circumvented it by calling the check_hpasm-script directly via sudo:


nrpe.cfg:

command[check-hpasm]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm -b $ARG1$

sudoers:
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD:[...],/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm


Maybe this helps? :-)
