gotchas

• You may have to create the /var/spool/nagios directory and make sure that it is owned by the nagios user.
• command_line in the carbios-bulk-host and carbios-bulk-service commands may need to include the fully qualfied path to where the carbios binary is installed. If installed from source, it should be bundle exec carbios to make sure that the proper gems are used
