Retention Problem

[Iassen Anadoliev]

Hello guys.
	 I am trying to setup nagios on debian unstable. Using nagios-text 
version 1.2-3.4 + nagios-plugins version 1.3.1.0-7. All is fine but i 
cannot save my state information. retain_state_information is set to 1 
but... without any success. Part of my config files:
