Try stopping wuauctl on the server in question, and renaming the log file.
It appears that that service isn't running on my box (Windows XP Professional SP2 German version), although the log file exists.
net stop wuauctl
Command results in (my vague translation from German to English) <snip> System error 1060 occurred. The specified service is not an installed service. </snip>
C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move>
I was not able to rename that file before I disabled the "Automatic Updates" service in Windows. Is is launched (according to the service control panel) via the command "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs".
net start wuauctl
Same as above, although the error now reads <snip> The name for the service is invalid. You get more help by typing NET HELPMSG 2185. </snip>
Trigger another check, and see what comes back.
Using the script from <http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2547.html;d=1> returns via check_nrpe
<snip>Number of updates waiting or installing: 10<br />Microsoft Base Smartcard-Kryptografiedienstanbieter-Paket: x86 (KB909520)+ Update f�r Stammzertifikate+ Update f�r die Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1- und .NET Framework 3.5-Produktfamilie (KB951847) x86+ Atheros - Network - Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Controller+ Gruppenrichtlinieneinstellungs-Clienterweiterungen f�r Windows XP (KB943729)+ Windows Search 4.0 f�r Windows XP (KB940157)+ Matrox Graphics Inc. - Display - Matrox Millennium P650 PCIe 128+ Windows Internet Explorer 7 f�r Windows XP+ Windows Media Player 11+ Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 - Sprachpaket (Deutsch)+

If you still see odd issues, take a look at the log file, and search for the line that looks like this:
The /complete/ file ReportingEvents.log (which has been created by running check_nrpe) reads
<snip>{CB736E16-0659-46C9-B16C-ABD070C74BD1} 2009-05-02 12:25:05:187+0200 1 147 101 {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} 0 0 AutomaticUpdates Success Software Synchronization Windows Update Client successfully detected 0 updates. {EAFBF2B9-9314-4B90-A4F2-9564BCC5A391} 2009-05-02 12:25:07:328+0200 1 147 101 {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} 0 0 Success Software Synchronization Windows Update Client successfully detected 10 updates.
</snip>Still, running the Windows Updates through IE doesn't show any pending updates (I removed IE 8 from the updates to be checked, btw.).
Any ideas? Thanks, Albrecht.
