try this:

root at gui [/usr/local/nagios/libexec]# cd
root at gui [~/]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bl -H 66.98.166.XXX \
> -B sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,bl.spamcop.net,t1.dnsbl.net.au

My bet is that you will need to modify a path in check_bl to point to
the $USER1$ directory.  When I installed it on FreeBSD, the path to
the plugins directory where the util script is was hardcoded to what I
presume is the default Linux location for the plugins.  I think "." is
in the search path for loading the utils file.  That would explain why
it works from the plugin directory on the command line.
