This is fixed now thanks to help from Marc Powell who led me in the  
right direction.

If you look at the command_line for the above notification command  
you will notice that the $SERVICEACKCOMMENT does not have the  
trailing $ for the variable.  Because of this - the email for the  
service notifications are not sent out - and there is also no error  
associated with that problem.   I added in the $ at the end of the  
variable and now the service notifications are working again.

Crazy easy, but so simple to miss.  Thanks again Marc!
