I've got freshness checking working just fine.  Make sure that you have:

        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          0

For all your service entries on Distributed Nagios and that you have:

        active_checks_enabled           0
        passive_checks_enabled          1

On Central.  Simply disabling active checks globally on Central didn't
work for me.

Hope that helps.
