You *did* restart Nagios, didn't you? If so, make sure you don't have
two versions of Nagios running at the same time.

If that's not the issue, then go check the loaded config from the CGI's,
by following the "View config" link in your menu. It'll show you what
config Nagios thinks it has loaded, and might tell you what's going on.
