Sorry, due to an error on my mail server, this didn't get through first time round.
Hi, Found the cause of this: the pre-flight check isn't working correctly (see output below) which caused the confusion (the errors were off-screen in my terminal window, and I mistakenly trusted the "Total Warnings: 0, Total Errors: 0" bit!! I've copied in nagios-devel to report this (also confirmed the same with today's CVS build.) Note that the servicegroup "Server_Info" does *not* exist (I mistakenly removed it a few days ago), so the pre-flight check should report it as an error, but it doesn't.
