If you provide the information I asked for originally, we can almost
certainly help.

Add contact
Add to new/existing contactgroup
Add contactgroup to host/service
Verify in nagios.cfg that all the config files you just edited are
listed as cfg_file.
Restart/reload nagios
...
Profit!

This sends to the new contact for the service that regular notifications
do not work for? I'm not using nagios-3 yet but my reading of the code
is that it uses the exact same notification logic unless 'forced' or
'broadcast' is enabled. Are you using those? Forced causes nagios to
ignore time restrictions, broadcast tells nagios to send to all normal
contacts _and_ escalated contacts.

It would appear then, based on the information at hand, that the
'admins' contactgroup is still associated with that service.
