Not really related but $SERVICEDESC$ and $SERVICESTATE$ will always be
null for a host notification. You should remove them.

Not likely since $HOSTOUTPUT$ wasn't valid then ;) In any event, I think
they worked fine under 1.3 and you're seeing your current results
because host-notify-by-sms is never actually used. Do you really have
contact definitions that use host-notify-by-sms? It would seem more
likely that they all use notify-by-sms for both
service_notification_commands and host_notification_commands.
