If it aint broke don't fix it. ;)
Nagios 2 does away with (native) database support, so you might want to 
revert back to save yourself the trouble when you upgrade later.

That's your problem right there. The CGI's expect Nagios to update the 
status log a little more frequently than once every 35 years. I suggest 
you change the check_nagios command to something else to work around 
this (or revert back to using files).

Anything, really. In case you happened to update Mon Dec 20 13:02:48 
GMT, I suspect the check_nagios command you're using uses the last 
update time as the time since the last update (which is a bit silly). In 
that case the check_nagios command should be fixed, which I'll leave as 
an exercise to you.

You're welcome.
