Hi,
the module I'm using is almost setup the same, but I don't experience
the same issue:
the nagios server collects nagios config resources (and sets the target
file for each kind of resource), and there's a resource for the files
themselves which define the permissions.
however, there's no "require" link between both.
what happens if you try and remove the require link from Nagios_XYZ ->
${baseconfigdir}/${conf_file_srvs} ?
