You're using the -a argument in check_nrpe but not permitting it on  
the receiving side.

In nrpe.cfg --

# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow  
clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option  
only works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args  
configure script
# option.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security  
implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0
