I'm not familiar with 'dependent_hostgroup_name' nor do I see it in the
documentation.  My servicedependency's use 'dependent_host_name'.  What
version of nagios are you running?

Sounds right, except for me having not heard of
'dependent_hostgroup_name' before.  How is it not failing?  One thing to
note, with the way you have everything setup, if service_a on host_a
fails, then the status for service_b on the machines in group_a and
group_b will NOT change.  They will stay in the OK (or whatever) state
since no checks will be run to update the state.
