I see two possible reasons:
1. Different users: Did you try to run it on the local machine as the  
same user, which runs the nrpe-daemon (probably nagios)?
	# su - nagios
	$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_max_connections -w 300 -c 100

2. Enviroment issues: This can be solved by
     a. using full-pathes (/usr/sbin/mysqladmin?!) or
     b. by setting the enviroment in nrpe.cfg:
	command[check_max_connections]=env PATH=... LANG=... HOME=... /usr/ 
lib/nagios/plugins/check_max_connections -w 300 -c 100

hth, Ingo
