Using the current 3.x I am using recursion on FreeBsd 6.2 and have no 
issues.  Please make sure your config files have a .cfg extension as the 
config file directs. I have been using recursion since before 3.0 
without issues. I even double checked on sub dirs and that read 
correctly as well.

Short of the .cfg extension not being on your files I would have to look 
at file perms next.

# You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
# directive as shown below:

cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/switches
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/routers
