Nagios not reporting alerts and keeping the soft-state

[ilohp]

I have some remote stores, only with a ping service
checking the server
After a connection failure, nagios see the server
down, but never send the email alert. I believe is
because it never made the second attempt to reach the
HARD state, and always stay on soft state. It was
working well before on the 2.x version, running 3.0b7
now
When you check the interface, the status is always
soft with only one attempt. Configuration is below.
Any idea?
Thanks
