To expand on that a touch: command.cfg on the monitoring machine needs
to know how to run check_nrpe (and it almost certainly already does),
but not check_remote_disk1 (and you shouldn't really call it "remote",
because...)

the *argument* to check_nrpe, which you've called check_remote_disk1,
has to be defined on the *target* machine.

Where that disk isn't remote.

This isn't entirely the best documented process -- I know, cause it
took me almost 3 hours to figure it out.  :-)

You know what would be *wonderful*?

If someone could post, somewhere, one or more working complete
configurations, annotated as to why the configuror made the choices of
naming and templating that they did.
