"How can I make sure the user and group nagios have access to the particular

su to your nagios user then execute the command exactly as you have it in your nrpe.cfg. Copy and paste to be sure.

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -w 60 -c 300 -f /home/player/path/Control/Monitor_PS_Enable.status
