There is probably a typing mistake where you defined perfparse in nagios =
config files.
Please check them.

Some other explanation : you defined something like
perfparse --serviceperf-log /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log
And nagios, for some reason that I don't know, wants to run "perfparse --=
serviceperf-log
" and then "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log"

Check if you did not type some hidden character somewhere (retype everyth=
ing by hand, no
copy/paste and this sometimes helps)

If you only have that, perfparse will read it but not give you any perfor=
mance data.
Performance data follow a | character. Have a look at
http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=3D6#q7
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN185
to understand.

You don't have any Storage_Module_Load item in your config file.
Please run perfparse-log2any --show_config, edit the output and put it in=
 your config file.
The output of all perfparse tools with --show_config is supposed to be co=
mpatible with
the config file and has been made in such a way that it should always be =
up to date.
This is not the case with the sample config files that we forget to updat=
e.

Check the faqs (http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-list_faqs.php) on how to d=
o it.

This is a message to all who run perfparse in another language than Engli=
sh : please run
perfparse in English when you want to copy/paste things, or translate the=
m to us.
Here, I recognize the word "FIFO" and I guess that it complains because y=
ou ran
perfparsed and the file you defined for the perfdata already exists as a =
file. It should
either exist as a FIFO or not exist. It it does not exists, perfparse doe=
s not complain
and creates it.

Probably right.
Storage_Module_Load =3D "mysql" for example ? There is another option for=
 the directory
where to find storage modules. Check the output of perfparsed --show_conf=
ig :)
