Many things could be the problem here, only some of them would be "Nagios."

If you were running 3, I'd say turn on debug logging.  Since you're not, 
this gets hard (or you could just upgrade to 3, see if the problem 
disappears, and if it doesn't, turn on that debug log.)

What's your notification command config look like?

What happens if you add:
"""
 >/tmp/notif_log.out 2>&1
"""
to the end of it?  That should trap the command stdout and stderr, and 
save it in that file.
