This is expected if the account in question, in this case nagiosadmin, does not have notifications enabled. If you login as nagiosadmin, then click on the nagiosadmin name in the upper right corner, then select Notification Preferences, there will be an Enable Notifications check box. If it's unchecked, then that's why you're seeing these messages. Well, that, and some host or service check(s) has nagiosadmin listed as a contact.
