I just faced this issue myself...

My definition of 'check_nrpe' is like this:

# 'check_nrpe' command definition
define command{eugene <eugene at mnc.com.my>
         command_name    check_nrpe
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ 
-a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$
         }
 
 

I was having a problem before I added the '-a $ARG2$...' on the end, as 
I couldn't pass arguments to plugins on the remote host. Note that to be 
able to pass arguments to plugins on the remote host, NRPE on the remote 
host must be compiled with '--enable-command-args'...

Regards,
Guy.
