Service Escalation Timing Issue

I've got a service that I've set up with the following requirements. E-mail a certain group after service has been down for 5 minutes. page when service has been down for 10 minutes. Then, page again after 30 minutes. I'm fairly certain my problem is with notification_interval in the service_escalation and that I'm misunderstanding this from the documentation:
"When defining notification escalations, it is important to keep in mind that any contact groups that were members of "lower" escalations (i.e. those with lower notification number ranges) should also be included in "higher" escalation definitions. This should be done to ensure that anyone who gets notified of a problem continues to get notified as the problem is escalated."
Following are the configuration options (I've snipped some options down):
Nagios.cfg:
interval_length=1 (One second)
Template:
define service{
name distrib-nevent-graph
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 2
contact_groups no-one
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
register 0
}
Service:
define service{
use distrib-nevent-graph
hostgroup_name location-v7apache
service_description v7apache-check
}
Service Escalation:
define serviceescalation {
hostgroup_name location-v7apache
service_description v7apache-check
first_notification 5
last_notification 0
notification_interval 1800
contact_groups nopage, core
}
define serviceescalation {
hostgroup_name location-v7apache
service_description v7apache-check
first_notification 10
last_notification 0
notification_interval 1800
contact_groups page, nopage, core
}
