 It will work, if you specify the command as
 'local-netmrg-lmsensors.pl %parameters%'
 %parameters% will be replaced with 'temp1' in your case.

I have not tried this (NetMRG was temperamental enough that I prefer not 
to touch my config now that I got it to work well), but if I understand 
the above correctly, then the attached patch may help clarify this 
point.

 So I created a Test script as follows:

Data Type:Standard Out
For use with this device: Linux Box
 
 Then I created a monitor as follows:
Monitoring Type:  Script
Script Test:  LMSensors
Parameters:   temp1
Data Type:Gauge
Minimum Value:U
Maximum Value:U
Subdevice:Amboise - Hardware Monitors
 
 But netmrg-gatherer is running the following command:

 Instead of the expected '/usr/lib/netmrg/local-netmrg-lmsensors.pl
