--delete is not supported any more.
Use --delete-service-log instead

Read access only to get the PID of nagios, then kill -1.
And rw access to the directory that contain serviceperf.log

as the perfparse user, test this:
mv serviceperf.log serviceperf.log.test
kill -1 `cat nagios.lock`

A new serviceperf.log should be created. If not, some permissions are mis=
sing !

With the report option (-r) enabled, maybe (need to check the code to be =
sure)
Otherwise, no.
But you can read the drop file and see the lines. Maybe that can help ?

Please upgrade to 0.99.08. We should not work on that one before mid-Augu=
st (except if
we find a serious bug of course). And it looks quite stable.
Some previous version contain serious bugs and we cannot support versions=
 that have
known bugs and that we have fixed in latest versions :)
