Nagios doesn't believe it's supposed to send notifications. If it did,
at the very least it would log the attempt. Please post the general
'program{}' section, the 'service{}' definition for something you
should have received a notification and the 'contact{}' definition for
that contact, *obtained from var/status.dat* (or whatever the value of
status_file is in nagios.cfg). That will allow us to see for certain
what nagios believes it's supposed to be doing. You should obtain
these while nagios is running.
Everything you've answered indicates that nagios should be logging,
and sending notifications. Something's not right. If the above shows
everything correct as well, debug mode might be your only remaining
option. That's a ./configure option for nagios-2.x so you'd need to
recompile.
