When I try to incorporate it into commands.cfg and add it to the localhost checks however, nagios refuses to load the updated scripts.

What do you mean by "nagios refuses to load the updated scripts?"  Do
you mean the configs?  If so, a "nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg" (or
wherever your nagios.cfg lives) should ihelp point you to the issue.

One thing that's definitely not right as you posted it here is the
"define service" being commented out in your service config, since that
will make the rest of the uncommented lines under it generate an error
when loading.
