Trouble logging performance data

I can't seem to get nagios to log performance data.
I tried compiling nagios with --with-default-perfdata and 
--with-file-perfdata
separately and together.

My nagios.cfg file contains the statements:

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata

service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

and
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$

xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$

xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/opt/nagios/var/serviceperf.log

The files got created, but nothing ever gets written there. I MUST be 
missing something basic.
What do I need to do to get performance data written somewhere?

Oh, yeah, the commands are defined:
define command{
    command_name    process-host-perfdata
    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
"$LASTCHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATE$\t$HOSTATTEMPT$\t$STATETYPE$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$" 
 >> /opt/nagios/var/host-perfdata.out_nag
    }


# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition
define command{
    command_name    process-service-perfdata
    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
"$LASTCHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$STATETYPE$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$\t$LATENCY$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$" 
 >> /opt/nagios/var/service-perfdata.out_nag
    }

The file permissions appear correct. I'm out of ideas.
