Hi,

I assume you have checked the command definitions for check_nrpe and
also checked the return codes of the plugins? 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage -c check_remote; echo
$?

> check users     OK      11-20-2008 14:20:41     0d 0h 20m 28s   1/3
> USERS CRITICAL - 10 users currently logged in

This should not happen under normal circumstances.
I'd presume, the return code gets swapped somewhere.

you might want to send your command definition for check_nrpe.
OTOH you're probably using this definition successfully on other hosts.
