I tried the patch with Nagios 3.2.0 and it works fine.
Make sure you run "make clean" before compiling.

Also, with my patch, you don't need to include "hostgroup_name". In 
fact, you should NOT, otherwise it will result in the same problem you 
have already. (all services depending on the "nrpeclient" service on ALL 
hosts)

You need to include a "dependent_servicegroup_name" clause with a 
servicegroup grouping all NRPE dependent services and the actual NRPE 
service (service_description) you wish those services depend on. Example:

define servicedependency{
   service_description                     nrpeclient
   dependent_servicegroup_name             nrpe-services
   inherits_parent                         1
   execution_failure_criteria              n
   notification_failure_criteria           w,u,c
}


If it still doesn't work, your problem might have something to do with 
"inherits_parent". I haven't tried it with "inherits_parent" yet.
