I don't know if nrpe is able to generate performance data.
But before checking that, run your plugins on the command line and check =
the result.
performance data are after the | character of the output :

some output | key1=3Dvalue1 key2=3Dvalue2
The performance data format is more complex than what I wrote. Read the d=
ocs.
But if you don't have something like "| key1=3Dvalue1 key2=3Dvalue2", the=
 problem is the
plugin that cannot output performance data. Get the latest plugins on the
nagiosplug.sf.net CVS :)
