nagios-users is probably a better list for questions, if only because  
there are more users and it's still on-topic.

Never test plugins as root. It's a false test; nagios doesn't run them  
as root and often is more restricted. Try testing as the user nrpe  
runs as.

My money is on sudo configuration. Maybe you don't have sudoers set up  
to allow nrpe to run this without password or perhaps you have  
'requiretty' enabled.
