Command interpretation.
Your command is enclosd within "" so you have to escape them within the 
ssh:
$ ssh  tui001 -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -C 
"/usr/nagios/plugins/check_log -F /var/log/youmail/login.log -O 
/home/nagios/192.168.200.150.var.log.login.server.seek -q \"No 
ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout\""

Or use simple quotes around the -C for ssh.
