Did you set this up with the AIX wizard?
They should show on the detail page if you use the quick search for you AIX server name

Have you made sure that the correct NRPE port is opened on the AIX server? This is typically port 5666.
As for unable to read output, this generally means that the script is not producing output, or it is not readable by Nagios. What check is giving this error?

To forward a new port:

In addition to slansing's post, you can see how to map a service to a port number here:

I am not sure what kind of firewall you have, but in case it is IBM, you may also look at this:
