disabled service checks don't stay disabled

[Tedman Eng]

Make sure you've got state retention turned on:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#retain_state_information
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#use_retained_program_state

You will have to put into your definitions the following as well:
retain_status_information        1
retain_nonstatus_information        1
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html

Everything (except flapping status) should thereafter be retained between
restarts.
