Overly persistent contact group

Dear list,
I have nagios3 on Debian Lenny. I created a service template and host
template for a customer as well as a couple of contacts and a contact
group. I specified the contact group in the host and service template
and created some host and service defininitions based on the
aforementioned templates.
So I hoped that notifications would be sent to these new contacts as per
the setup descibed above. This hope failed, and notifications were only
sent to a 'admins' contactgroup, which is not specified anywhere in the
setup of those hosts, services, contacts, group or template.
When I remove the 'admins' contact group from the config files and run a
test of the config, I get this:
Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'SYSTEM STATUS' for
host 'host.domain.tld' is not defined anywhere!
Even though this contact group is mentioned nowhere in connection with
these hosts or services.
It seems that all contact groups except the one named 'admins' fail to
register with the Nagios system and that the 'admins' contact group is
somehow automatically associated with all host definitions, regardless of
which contact group is actually specified in configuration.
