Hi, I was wondering if anybody has encountered this problem with 
notifications before,
and know what is causing it.

These variables appear on the nagios web interface, but  nagios seems 
to have a problem putting them into the email.

The notification command is the default notify-by-email command:

define command {
                 command_name                    notify-by-email
                 command_line                    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
"***** Nagios  *****\n\nNotification Type: 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: 
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional 
Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - 
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

Here is an example of the emails that are missing the information.

***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: RECOVERY

Service: check-backups
Host: office network server
Address:
State: OK

Date/Time: $
