I couldn't get it to work that way, either.  Instead, I defined a 
service escalation that activates on the first notification.  Something 
like this might work:

define serviceescalation {
	host_name		linux-server
	service_description	1_proc_sshd
	contact_groups		management
	first_notification	1
	last_notification	0
	escalation_options	w,c,r
}

I assign services to hosts with hostgroups, so I have a hostgroup_name 
in my escalation definition instead of just a host_name.
