NRPE is not designed for passive checks. The reason you can't send 
passive results over NRPE is because the only communication NRPE has 
with Nagios is through the output and exit code of check_nrpe. In other 
words, it does not submit the results directly to Nagios, rather it 
relies on Nagios running the command directly (the definition of an 
active check).

NSCA is a solution for passive monitoring. You mentioned it in your 
subject line but not your message body: is there some reason you don't 
want to use NSCA, or something you're confused about regarding it?
