Plugin runs OK interactively, gives error running from Sensu

I’m using a nagios plugin (http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Protocols/HTTP/check_ssl_cert/details) to do SSL cert checks

When I run it interactively from command line, it runs fine.

# /etc/sensu/plugins/check-ssl-cert.sh -H mydomain.com -w 90 -c 14 -S 3

SSL_CERT OK - X.509 certificate for ‘mydomain.com’ from ‘Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2’ valid until Jun 23 17:48:28 2015 GMT

When it gets called from within Sensu, it gives the following

SSL_CERT CRITICAL mydomain.com: Cannot verify certificate\nverification error: unable to get local issuer certificate verification error: certificate not trusted\n

Any ideas on what could be causing this difference in behaviours?

Is it possible that a SSL cert required to verify is not accessible to
the Sensu user?
Can you run the check from the cli *as* sensu to reproduce?

That was actually my first guess… Still seeing the same error.

-bash-4.1$ whoami

sensu

-bash-4.1$ /etc/sensu/plugins/check-ssl-cert.sh -H accu-chekto.com -w 90 -c 14 -S 3

SSL_CERT OK - X.509 certificate for ‘accu-chekto.com’ from ‘Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2’ valid until Jun 23 17:48:28 2015 GMT

I would run the script with set -vx to and diff the outputs. (feel
free to pastebin)
I would also throw in a "set" at the top of the script to dump the
environment and compare that too.
