It sounds like you might be using 2.0alpha out of CVS. Contact_groups
are no longer valid objects in hostgroup definitions --

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/nagios/nagios/html/docs
/xodtemplate.html#hostgroup

If you are, and you're asking this question, you should probably be
aware that 2.0 is not complete yet, especially the documentation so
YMMV.
