You have two issues.  One is that you're defining the service check
incorrectly.  You probably want to have a chack_command of
check_nt!1248, and a command_line of $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS -p
$ARG1$ -v check-nt (I'm guessing -- what you're using now is definitely
wrong, though).

Your second problem is probably that you're not including the file where
you defined that command when you start Nagios.
