try to cd into /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, does that dir exist?

find your nagios plugin dir (should be defined in your nagios config somewhere)
then correct the command to reflect the correct location and run it.

This is what i get when i run the command you mentioned.

[root@NAGIOS01 /]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_mrtgtraf -F /var/www/html/mymrtg/10.0.1.1_2.log -a AVG -w 1000000,1000000 -c 5000000,5000000 -e 10

Ok, so from your reply we can assume the plugin works when run as root.
afaik see all files have the correct permissions to run this thing

maybe try:

sudo -u nagios /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_mrtgtraf -F /var/www/html/mymrtg/10.0.1.1_2.log -a AVG -w 1000000,1000000 -c 5000000,5000000 -e 10

If that gives correct output, the error you told us about in your first post is either from an old log line or another object, because if the above is all true it SHOULD work.
If not, you forgot something to tell us

I have no idea why it is still telling me check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file

I also see this in the mrtg.log

Started mrtg with config '/etc/httpd/conf/mrtg.cfg'
2012-11-27 10:55:02 -- ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg seems to be running. Check /etc/httpd/conf/mrtg.pid

any ideas?
