Please refresh my memory - how is this eventhandler supposed to be
executed on the remote host?

You say "on the remote machine if I su - nagios and run the script"
it works...  But how is Nagios supposed to execute it on the remote
host?  Via ssh?  NRPE?

If you attempt to do it exactly how *Nagios* is configured to try,
what happens?
