Charles -

The reason I am checking using nrpe and a vb script is because the methods you recommended are for checking locally attached drives, I am checking MOUNTED disks - and to explain in greater detail - they are mounted CIFS Filesystems from an EMC Celerra.

I have been using Nagios since it was NetSaint, just never bothered to monitor using anything outside the realm of "out of the box" checks.  As with other custom plugins, I want to know how Nagios Process interprets or identifies what is a warning or a critical value?  

I've tried passing logic into the vb script to produce an OK WARNING and CRITICAL field in front of the output,
