Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

How was XI installed? The xi_*_notification and xi_*_event handlers are commands that ship with xi. What is the output of:

when I ran the command I did not get any response back

i used the xi-latest.tar file to install XI

There is a very good chance that your install was not complete or that all the XI templates were removed. If re provisioning and reinstalling is an option, do so, but make sure to preserve the install.log in case you have issues. If you are not in a position to reinstall, at least run an upgrade as it may fix your issues:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ctions.pdf

this is a re-install. The first time I installed this, it was a clean install and then I did a re-install

You may have an old link, what is the create date on that file? It should be named: xi-2012r2.2.tar.gz
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... 2.2.tar.gz

I ran the upgrade and then did another configuration check and I am getting the same event handler error

ok, let me try that new gz file

ok, I did another install using the new gz file, and after the install I ran the script below and got the same error.

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

[root@lxtest16 nagiosxi]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
