questions about redundant monitoring

i'm trying to setup a second host to do redundant monitoring as per the
documentation here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/redundancy.html#scenario_1
one change i've made to the setup outlined in the documentation is that
i want the second host to take over notifications based on the state of
the nagios process, not the state of the primary host. i *thought* i
had everything setup properly, however when i shut nagios off on the
primary host, the script to enable notifications (copied link above) on
the secondary host never seems to be executed after the secondary host
determines that the service is down.
i've verified that the script works when executed by either root or by
the nagios user with the proper parameters. when i run it as either
user, i see the event in the log, and notifications become active. i
can use the same script to shut the notifications off again.
any ideas as to what may be the source of the problem?
i'm using nagios 1.2 on gentoo linux on the secondary host. the
primary is still nagios 1.0 on a redhat 7.3 machine (for whatever
that's worth).
here are the relevant configuration snippets, if there's anything else
that might be helpful, please let me know...
# Service definition check_remote_nagios
define service{
use generic-service
host_name dastardly
service_description CHECKNAGIOS
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups laits
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_remote_nagios
event_handler handle-master-host-event
}
# 'handle-master-host-event' command definition
define command{
command_name handle-master-host-event
command_line
/usr/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/handle-master-host-event $HOSTSTATE$
$STATETYPE$
}
