NSCA and Passive Checks

I am using NSCA to do passive checks for external hosts and I have it
working with one exception which I think is a simple Nagios config issue
which is escaping me at this time

Basically I need to tell Nagios that disabled Active Checks for Some
services is ok.

As it stands now I have 141 Active Checks, and 1 Passive Check,  under
the TAC it gives me a big warning in the Active Checks box that Active
Checks are disabled under 1 Service and under the Services I get 142 OK
(1 Disabled)

I kept the generic-service as is under the services.cfg and made a new
one called passive-service with the identical options to the generic
with the exception that active checks are set to 0, I put the one
service which I am working on testing the nsca stuff in using the new
passive-service and it's working fine, getting the external cmd updates
etc... however the main Nagios doesn't like it

any thoughts?
