The command line I listed above is the command line I used.  The problem is 
that that particular nagios plugin doesn't return the results in a manner 
similar to the others.... here is what it returns....

QUERY OK: 'select count(*) from connect' returned 12161.000000

As you can see, it doesn't put a pipe '|' to define the datapoint.  I got 
around this by creating a wrapper script which runs this command and runs it 
through awk to print it out in a manner that was similar to the other nagios 
plugins that I do have working.  I had to use the wrapper script because all of 
the quoting needed to make awk work was messing with the way zenoss was 
interpreting the command-line causing none of the scripts to run for the hosts 
that that command applied to.

Perhaps I wasn't escaping the quotes or variables  correctly, but I tried a 
bunch of different ways to make it work and simply couldn't.

Anyway, my problem is solved, but it seems that some of the nagios plugins 
don't behave the same way that others do.
