Service escalations registering, but not enforcing

[Bruce Thayre]

Hello,
I'm having an issue i have not been able to resolve.  I'm using nagios 
3.0.4 and have a ton of service escalations defined, however they do not 
seem to be enforced.  I've also noticed, that while i've defined all of 
my services to use the generic-service template (which by default, has a 
notification_interval set to 60) i receive notifications every 30 
minutes despite the generic-service definition and escalations. 

My services.cfg:  http://dpaste.com/43794/
My templates.cfg: http://dpaste.com/43795/

If i run nagios -v nagios.cfg my output looks like:

So nagios can clearly see my service escalations.  So is there any 
apparent reason why my service escalations are not enforced?  And also, 
is there any apparent reason why my notification_interval is enforced as 
30 minutes, when it is set to 60 in templates.cfg?  Any 
help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated, as if i don't come up 
with a solution, i'm just going to trash this install and use nagios 2.x

Thanks,
Bruce
