This is not the issue; the problem is that when nrpe is stopped, it can't remove its own pid file, as it's written by root in /var/run/ which is only writeable by root. This leads to an error message sent to syslog. When starting, the old one is overwritten without any problem. As discussed earlier, the solution is to create a subdirectory in /var/run/ (just like nagios itself does), chown it to nagios (if not already done) and write the pidfile there. I suggest using /var/run/nagios3/ as nagios uses that as well.
