Can you email in the following files from the remote server.
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

You will have to add the following line to your /etc/sudoers file on the remote server so the check has the ability to run the plugin. What is the IP address of the Nagios server?
Can you login to the Nagios server, run the following and post the output?

Sent you in PM.

I sent this response in the PM. Copied it here for others to view.

OK, I think I know what you are looking for.

If that is what you are looking for, then setting up a service dependency is what you are looking for.
Take a look at this link that describes how it works.
