I'm not sure what you mean by "... and installed RPMForge".

If you installed Nagios from the source tarball using the quickstart
instructions at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html , then
the nagios config file nagios.cfg would be under
/usr/local/nagios/etc/ and the command to verify the config should
then be ..

  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I would stop the Nagios daemon, check the start script under
/etc/init.d to make sure you know how it is starting, check where it
is looking for the config and run the verify command again making sure
you are using the right config location.
