Take a very close look at the output of "nagios -v". It happened to me
in the past that making a small error in the servicedependency
definitions would make Nagios discard them as "Lame service dependency"
without counting it in the warning/error count. This is logged at the
top and discarded before Nagios enters the objects verification step.

This is likely your problem. Maybe this should cause Nagios to die
instead of skipping part of the configuration....
