'Service is not scheduled to be checked...' & 'Host is not scheduled to be checked...'

I've used Nagios for a few years, but my new installation is really racking
my brain.

I was testing with my first host and first service, but they are never
checked or scheduled to be checked.  I want both active and passive checks,
because I'm experimenting with my own distributed monitoring system (which
is a first for me). I'm including the important parts of my config files.

I'm sure that I have a really simple issue, but I just can't put my finger
