I've experienced this problem, too.
Here, it was a permissions issue. The file with the "private" macros was 
0600 root:root, but should have been 0600 nagios:nagios. I assume that 
nagios reads this file as root at startup, but at a reload it's running 
as user nagios... The solution was, obviously, a simple chown nagios. 
/etc/nagios/resource.cfg for me.

Hope that helps,

Arno
