Those kind of problems usually arise from wrong return values of
plugin scripts. NRPE passes the return value of the check plugin
back to nagios and Nagios interprets it as OK/CRITICAL/whatever.
The actually string output has nothing to do with what Nagios will
show as state.

So I would assume that Solaris 10 zone does something really
strange with the exit values of the plugins. Does Solaris have
/bin/sh with "$?" - if so then please run the check locally and
issue an "echo $?" right afterwards.
