This looks like a permissions issue.

In Nagios XI, go to Configure -> Core Configuration Manager -> Services. In the upper right, use the Search box to search for the service that is returning critical. Can you provide me with the Command from the Command View box, as well as any ARG variables? That will help us find out what we need to do to test permissions on the AIX machine.

On the AIX machine, the user account that is running the NRPE agent will need access to the CIFS share. The best way to test if the permissions are correct is to login to the AIX machine, switch to the NRPE user account (on most machines this is just nagios, but on AIX it may be different), and run an ls -l command against the CIFS mount point. If you can see the files and file sizes, the check command should work.

Was this working previously, and just stopped working recently?

Are there other CIFS shares that are affected in the same way? Different servers, different shares?

Can you give me the name of a server and a path that is returning critical? I'm looking through a system profile you had sent in previously, and I'm seeing a lot of check_nrpe check_disk commands, but they all look properly formatted.
