--dbpass does something else:
--dbpass=PASSWORD
Provides the password to connect to the database
with. Use of this option is highly discouraged.
Instead, one should use a .pgpass or pg_service.conf
file.
Did you try putting the .pgpass file into the home dir or the user
running the nrpe agent? (~nagios or the like)
