[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios NRPE_nt False Positives take 2

[Vincent K. Britton]

Is this the best support option for Nagios Plugins?  Nobody seems to be able to answer my question here.

Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] Nagios NRPE_nt False Positives take 2

<sorry for the previous email, tried to paste but sent instead>

I am having a very strange problem.  After Months of working perfectly, NRPE is now triggering false positives on a disk check and sending critical errors on 2 of my Windows servers.  I am slowly rolling Nagios out, and these are the only 2 windows Servers I am checking disk space on.  I am also running Memory checks on these same servers and the results from it are working fine.

Here is the command on the Server in nrpe.cfg:
command[check_disk_c]=c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo //T:10 c:\nrpe_nt\bin\check_disk.wsf /drive:"c:\" /w:85% /c:90%

Here are the errors I am getting via email:
        ***** Nagios 2.10 *****

        Notification Type: PROBLEM

        Service: Disk Space C
        Host: Server01
        Address: 172.16.1.151
        State: CRITICAL

        Date/Time: Thu Apr 24 09:18:28 EDT 2008

        Additional Info:

        Drive C:\  - Total: 10 GB - Free: 2.2 GB (22%) - Used: 7.8 GB (78%)

As you can see the disk usage at 78% is below both the warning and critical thresholds.

The nrpe.cfg for Server 11 is exactly the same, but I am getting errors from that server as well:

        ***** Nagios 2.10 *****

        Notification Type: PROBLEM

        Service: Disk Space C
        Host: Server11
        Address: 172.16.1.169
        State: CRITICAL

        Date/Time: Thu Apr 24 08:59:18 EDT 2008

        Additional Info:

        Drive C:\  - Total: 58.6 GB - Free: 41.49 GB (71%) - Used: 17.1 GB (29%)

This server uses even Less disk percentage, but is triggering Critical errors.

How do I begin to troubleshoot this, is it a problem on the Windows Servers, or the Nagios Monitoring Server?  I imagine it is a problem with the Nagios Server, as the likely hood of both Windows servers developing the same problem at the same time is unlikely.

Here is some more information if relevant.
