Thank you thank you thank you!
That did it,
I don't why the quotes were escaped, it seem to happen after nagmin was
installed and configured.  I know nagmin initially pulls in your current
config files, so maybe it happened during that process.

Anyway thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious to me.

Maybe I can return the favor one day :<)..

Why are the quotes escaped?  I think you're telling it to ignore the
quotes
as dividing characters, which is why none of the options are being seen.
My configuration and the example configs don't escape the quotes.
