$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ isn't valid for host/service check commands, only
notifications (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html).
Unless the above command is being called as a notification command, and
it would be very unusual if it was, it's not going to work.

I suspect that what you're really looking for is $SERVICEATTEMPT$. Check
the macros page to be sure.
