I assume the config files above exist and are populated with reasonable 
data?

Your nagios -v output seemed to indicate 0 hosts, contact groups, etc.

You could change the cfg_file definitions in nagios.cfg or use the 
cfg_dir command to point at the directory with your config files in them 
e.g.

  cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc
