PATH setting for Nagios, perhaps? And I don't mean the one you get as user nagios, I mean the one Nagios works with... Apart from that, for that sort of problem, it's a simple thing to write a small wrapper script which logs some diagnostic output - for example, path, id, shell and probably the Nagios-specific environment variables - and then submits the actual program calls with parameters. You might even log things like the output from 'which <programname>' and '/bin/ls -l <programname>' to see what actually happens...
