Well, the simplest thing to do would be to make sure the command file can be created by Nagios :-) This is usually a question of permissions: The Nagios user needs permission to write to the directory where the command file will be created. A simple chmod ... might be enough for you. More information can be found in the fine manual, by the way. Also, depending on how you installed Nagios, there might be a make target to set up these permissions - the make output informs you of the possible operations, usually.
