Hopeing, it's a typo and you're entry looks like

[test]
ENVFILE $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonserver.cfg   
CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/test
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/test.log
INTERVAL 6m
   

how looks your entry for this host in host.cfg
and how looks the

1st line in your hosts.cfg ?

how looks your entry for xymond in your tasks.cfg ?

by the way, you needn't restart the server,
after 5 minutes it should run anyway ...
