Getting state retention to work

[Rob Tanner]

Marc,

The retain_status_information and retain_nonstatus_information options 
are both set to 1 in the default templates at the top of the hosts.cfg 
and services.cfg files and I am specifying those default templates for 
almost all of the service and host entries.

Something else must still be missing.
