status.log doesn't report notifications.  However, nagios does log that
to syslog, so you might want to check /var/log/messages and see if it
reports a notification.

Nothing jumped out at me.  You may want to take a look at your notify
commands.  I'd also suggest checking your mail logs (/var/log/maillog)
and see what it says about the email attempt.
