Syslog-NG notifications

For some reason, I can't get my Nagios notifications up and working.
I'm trying to set up a new user to use a Perl script, which currently sits at /runme.pl

I think that I have all the various notification pieces in place - I've spent the last 3 hours going over the notification documentation on the nagios homepage - but I'm still missing something.
All necessary definitions should be included in the code section.
define host{
        name                    generic-switch-loud
        use                     generic-host
        check_period            24x7
        check_interval          5
        retry_interval          1
        max_check_attempts      10
        check_command           check-host-alive
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_interval   30
        notification_options    d,u,r,f,s
        contact_groups          admins
        register                0
        }
 
define service{
        name                            generic-service-loud
        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
