Problems with scheduling

[maillists0 at gmail.com]

Just built 3.3.1 on CentOS 5.6. Configured a single host for testing
with nrpe, everything looked good. Stopped nrpe on the client and got
the expected emails.

The problem is that when I enabled nrpe on the client, the server
continued to send me alerts and the web ui says that the service was
recently checked, but there is nothing in the log. The checks aren't
in fact happening but the server seems to think they have and keeps
reporting the service as down.  I replicated this behavior with the
default checks against localhost on the server.

I've restarted nagios several times and confirmed that there aren't
any processes hanging around. I'm using flat files for configuration,
no database. I immediately thought it was my configuration, but I
don't immediately see anything wrong and also don't understand what I
could have done to cause Nagios to think that it has run checks that
didn't actually occur. What might have I done wrong? I've used Nagios
in the past and don't remember ever having this problem. Any help at
all is appreciated.

Here's the running config,  from status.dat:
