Hi Drew,

    Nagios appears to be choking on the "Sunday" line:

define timeperiod{

        timeperiod_name oms
        alias           OMS Downtime
        Sunday          04:00-03:00  <---- 
        monday          00:00-24:00

Testing this on my own, I found that all days defined need to be in 
lowercase. Change Sunday to sunday.

-sk
