This error message means that the received string "\" and your pattern do 
not match.   That also mean that you have received some thing.  What kind 
of protocol are you trying to match?  Is there really a "\" in it?

Well this should always match. (:

Are you sure that your monit is compiled with regex support?  What OS are 
you using with it?  Maybe a problem of the regex-lib?
