James,

  It looks like your config is wrong..

Here is a sample of what I have

I'm testing from pinghost to pingtarget

Keep in mind that you need a new copy of the remotefping for each pinghost... copy and 
modify the top line to reflect the new name..

..snip...

+++ OracleMonitor
menu = Oracle Monitor
title = Oracle Monitor

++++ oratestpsmc
probe = RemoteFPingSSHbrkx86
menu = orapsmc
title = Oracle Test -> Psmc
host = pingtarget
alerts = rttdetect300,lossdetect
email =  Patton, Keith <kpatton at dallas.photronics.com>

+++++ PROBE_CONF
rhost = pinghost
ruser = nettest
rbinary = /usr/local/sbin/fping
