notification_period inherited from the host only applies if you have NO 
notification_period defined.  Do you have some master service template 
that defines a default notification_period for services (I know we do). 

You could use a custom variable attached to the host and then set the 
notification period with

notification_period $_HOSTCUSTOMNOTIFICATIONPERIOD$

or similar.  However, if you'd like to do this sort of thing on a wide 
scale I'd reconfigure nagios to use the builtin inheritance rather than 
trying to re-implement it using custom object vars
