My last 3 ideas:

- remove unused config vars in your perfparse.cfg. I'm not sure - would
have to read the code - if config settings like
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
overwrite the pipe settings.

- check if the plugins return performance data. Run them by hand. A
plugin that returns performance data should output things like this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 5% -c 2% -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 360 MB (7% inode=-);| /=4643MB;4753;4903;0;5004
All after the "|" is performance data.

- Some nagios variables have changed. nagios 1.X had $OUTPUT$ and
$PERFDATA$ while they are renamed to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and
$SERVICEPERFDATA$ in nagios 2.X. Unfortunately the perfparse docs are
old and badly maintained. Doublecheck your command definition. You could
also try to use the perfparse_nagios_command.pl to write to a file and
examine the file if it contains reasonable data.
