The most common source of problems on this sort is a diffence in the environment of your shell vs Mon. Typically when the script calls an external program without specifying the full path, but other possibilities exist.

When mon runs the test what output does it see, and what exit code?

You might try adding debugging code to output the contents of %ENV (assuming this is perl), and some debug statements tracing your scripts execution. (i.e. "testing server XXX", "server XXX failed", "returning failure code (1)", etc...)
