What does the definition starting on line 2 of
/etc/nagios/hostgroups.cfg look like? That's what nagios is complaining
about and it's a unique configuration that you've created. I would guess
that you've included '(username)' on the members line as if it were a
host. You shouldn't. Only host names should go there, not contacts.
