If this is a host notification, it makes perfect sense. Any $SERVICE*  
macro used in the notification isn't valid because there's no specific  
service for the notification. I suspect that your  
host_notification_commands and service_notification_commands are the  
same when they should be different. The host notification command  
should use $HOST*$ macros.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html

A typical host notification command might look like --

define command {
     command_name                   host-notify-by-email
     command_line                   /bin/echo -e "Subject:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$\n\n*****  
Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$ 
\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n 
\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAcknowledged By: $HOSTACKAUTHOR$ 
\nAcknowledgement: $HOSTACKCOMMENT$" | /bin/mail $CONTACTEMAIL$
     }
