Nagios services are exported resources, which means that the host that
"owns" that resource export it, the resource is saved in the
storeconfig database, and the Nagios server "collect" all that
exported resources to create the nagios config files.
This behaviour can create a considerable delay before the nagios
config files appear on the nagios server, because the client's puppet
has to run and export the resources, and the nagios server puppet has
to run to collect them.

To debug the problem, you can run puppet on the nagios client in debug
mode (--debug --no-daemonize). Look for any problems related to the
nagios services.
Then check if you see the exported resources in the storeconfig database:
psql puppet
select * from resources where title like 'service:%';

If you see the resources everything is ok in the export.
Now run puppet in debug mode on the nagios server and see if you see
any error message.

Salu2!
