did you read the following in your nrpe.cfg?

##########################################################################
# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option only works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure script
# option.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0
##########################################################################

Maybe you have to recompile nrpe with "./configure --disable-ssl --enable-command-args" ?

The other way is to work with static parameters in the nrpe.cfg file. If possible...
