Well, what I do is putting the parameters in here. Like this:

# 'check_citrix_apps' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_citrix_apps
        command_line    $USER1$/check_cit -W $ARG1$ -P $ARG2$ -L -C 
server1 -C server2 -C server3
        }

But it should work like you do it too.

This is normal, it needs the splitting ! signs.

Could you verify that you don't have multiple Nagios processes running? 
Shut down Nagios. Wait a sec and do a "ps -ef" to see whether all Nagios 
procs are truely gone.
