State retention data is written to the retention file at the interval specified by retention_update_interval The default is to write it every hour.
This is also dependent on how you are restarting nagios. Killing off the process with -9 won't allow nagios to write it's data. I would also check the permissions of the retention file to verify nagios can write to it. Does that file have any data in it?
