I would try adding a register line to the service definition.  Below is 
an example of one of my service definitions.
define service{
         use                             generic-passive ; Name of 
service template to use
         hostgroup_name                  SMTP
         service_description             port8126
         contact_groups                  smtp-contacts, Administrators
         notification_options            w,c,r
         check_command                   service-is-stale
         register                        1
         }
