Here's a thought: could it be that your original contact list don't get
notified because you are in an escalation period? Thus the original list
is out of reach.
One thing you could try is creating a new list (lfisher_ooh) and then
set this group to get the alerts during escalation periods but only
'recovery' alerts (ie. notification_options r)

doesn't .
have you checked the log to see what happens when it detects a recovery
?
could it be that you have tow instances running and thus the nagios
isn't running with the corrent config ?
