I had the same problems with the 1.3 Version, you should try the version 
in the 1.4alpha package. Seems as if Perfdata support is broken.
If you use the check_mailq of 1.4 you may need to change the lib path 
(use lib ...) if you installed it in a directory other than 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec

NRPE is working?
./check_nrpe -H YOURHOST -c check_disk
ok?
./check_nrpe -H YOURHOST -c check_mailq
ok?

>> where have i gone wrong ?
Try the other check_mailq, test if nrpe is proper configured.
