In a similar situation, I found it helpful to break my command line tests into steps. First ssh directly into the remote as nagios and execute the disk check, as you seem to have done. Then sudo -u nagios ssh -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /" to make sure the key is working and the args and path are correct. Then sudo -u nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H linoleum -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /" If that works, the regular nagios process should work. I once had a sticky problem where I could get the above working, but nagios kept telling me unknown. It turned out I had a subtle little typo in my config that made it different from my command line tests. Headache!
