the correct command should be:
command[snmp_disk]=@libexecdir@/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.7.$ARG2$,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.9.$ARG2$ -w 
$ARG3$:,:$ARG4$ -c $ARG5$:,:$ARG6$ -u 'kB free (','% used)' -l 'disk 
space'

For the sample commands using the HOST-RESOURCE table (generic OIDS), the 
index of 101 and 102 should be mapped to what is locally appropriate.  So 
the examples should probably contain an ARG reference instead of hardcoded 
indexes.
