Notification difficulties

[Christian Kammer Have]

Hello! I'm running nagios 2.2(although the problem was existing in 2.0).
I am trying to enable our sms modem( a nokia 30) to send sms messages 
whenever anything goes down.
So far i have setup timeperiods, contacts, contactgroups and enabled which 
ever notificationoptions that were needed.
I have managed to install GSM-lib and have successfully sent sms messages 
directly from the software supplied.

This is my command:
define  command {
        command_name    notify-by-epager
        command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$HOSTNAME$: $SERVICEDESC$ is 
$SERVICESTATE$ @'$CONTACTPAGER'$" > /var/spool/sms/sms`date 
+%d%m%Y%H%M%S%N`
        }

The problem seems to be that the $CONTACTPAGER$ variable is empty.
the content of my textfile is: HOST: CPU Load is CRITICAL @''
I have tried with the $USERADDRESS1$ variable, with the email variable and 
so forth. I have tried without single quotation and with double quotation.


This is my contacts definition:
define  contact {
        contact_name                            Vagt
        alias                                           Vagt
        contactgroups                           admins,Citrix,Windows
        host_notification_period                24x7
        service_notification_period   24x7
        host_notification_options        d,u,r
        service_notification_options  w,u,c,r
        host_notification_commands host-notify-by-epager
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-epager
        pager                           <phonenumber> 
        }
Here are the time periods:
define  timeperiod {
        timeperiod_name 24x7
        alias           24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
        sunday          00:00-24:00
        monday          00:00-24:00
        tuesday         00:00-24:00
        wednesday       00:00-24:00
        thursday        00:00-24:00
        friday          00:00-24:00
        saturday        00:00-24:00
        }

And from the menu in nagios i can see that the notification has been 
"processed":
Host    Service         Type            Time                    Contact 
NotificationCommand     Information 
host    Web server      CRITICAL        04-09-2006 22:33:01     Vagt  
notify-by-epager        Connection refused 


I'm really without any clue of what i have been doing wrong.
but, as I said earlier, it seems to be as if the variables containing 
contactinformations are empty.
