I was trying that, but it's not certified to work with 3.5 and VMW changed a few things between 3.0 and 3.5.

D'Caltan Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE-2.12 on VMWare ESX Server 3.5 Ah, ok ... I was in the same boat a year or so ago, but gave up on nrpe for the same reasons you are having... anyhow, using snmp, we can do everything but the vmfs free, and we monitor the individual vm's separately via snmp as well since vmotion and such changes things so often... Are you attempting to use these? http://nagiosexchange.altinity.org/nagiosexchange/check_esx/ I see they finally have a 3.x version, so maybe I'll give it a try and let you know how it works for me as well on a test host...
