You should be able to use timeperiods the way you would like to.  I  
will have to setup my test environment to see if I get the same  
problem you are describing.  It would be nice to figure this out.  Is  
this a problem with other users?

Hi Jon,
So it was following your notification timeperiod but not your check  
timeperiod?  Was version of Nagios were you running?  Were you using  
the exclude function (new to nagios 3.x)?  Nagios 3.x did add new  
functionality to timeperiods.  It is possible that a bug was introduced.
