Command execution should be:

./check_nt -H 172.20.10.30 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l c -w 90 -c 95

-v is the command to execute (USEDDISKSPACE)
-l is the arguments for that command (C drive in this case)

What do you get when you execute the above?

This syntax looks okay, based on the check_nt command you have
defined.  With it set like this, what are you getting from nagios?
