You may try to add the double minus to the command definition area,
e.g.:

define command {
       command_name     check_dell_status
       command_line     /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dell_status -H $HOSTNAME$ --$ARG1$
}

instead of:

define command {
       command_name     check_dell_status
       command_line     /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dell_status -H $HOSTNAME$ $ARG1$
}

Then what have you done? ;-)
