I see the problem now... You couldn't log in as the nagios user to generate the key because it didn't have a valid shell... When you said it "wasn't interactive" I thought you mean that no-one would be there to enter the password when the ssh connection was made, hence the -N '' option to generate an unpassworded key. Not sure there's really any way to do what you wanted without doing pretty much what you did, tbh.
