That error means the plugin is missing or it's returning something that nagios can't understand. Check your service definition to see what command is being called by that service check and what args are being passed to it. Then open your commands.cfg file and see which plugin that command is calling and how the args are being passed. Now cd to your libexec dir and make sure the plugin being called in the command definition is really there, it is owned by nagios and it is executable. If it is, try running the pluging from the command line with the arguments you just determined. That should help you figure out why the plugin isn't returning sane output.

I'm willing to bet it's because you don't have net-snmp-utils installed, so the plugin is exiting with an error. You can grab the binaries or the source from here:

They even have it in RPMs
