Service Dependencies - NULL service description

Hi,

I raised this back in February with Nagios 2.7
(http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09830.html),
but just realised I hadn't had an answer to the original thread.  This is
still a problem with Nagios 2.9.  Can anyone confirm what I'm doing wrong?

I have a host called "Sydney-2" which hosts 18 websites.  These websites are
all defined as a check in Nagios in the service group "web_sites". 

The host also has a service check called "Web Service" which checks that
Apache is alive and running.

What I want to do is set up a service dependency of all websites in the
web_sites group on that web service.

According to the manual, this is valid:

define servicedependency {
	host_name			Sydney-2
	service_description		Web Service
	dependent_host_name		Sydney-2
	dependent_servicegroup_name	web_sites
	execution_failure_criteria	c
	notification_failure_criteria	w,u,c,p
	inherits_parent			0
}

However, when trying to verify with Nagios:

Error: NULL service description/host name in service dependency definition
Error: Could not register service execution dependency (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/config/service_dependencies.cfg', starting on line 23)

Line 23 is the line that begins the above service dependency.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy.
