This concerns me a little. The # is not a comment delimiter in this 
context. I have no idea what xymonnet is going to do the those tags. If 
you want comments, put them on the line above.

I don't like the non-qualified domain names, but that shouldn't prevent 
this stuff from working. If you really are using short-names, I suggest 
putting an explicit TESTIP in your .default. line. Again, it shouldn't 
be the cause of your breakage, but it would be a good idea.

Have you tried this without the hypen in the page name?

re-using the group name should not cause any trouble.

if you run
   xymoncmd xymoncfg --web
or
   xymoncmd xymoncfg --net

Is the hosts.cfg correctly parsed?

If you run
   xymoncmd xymonnet --no-update hhsce4aveimwst1
does the output look reasonable?

Is there anything interesting in xymond.log ?
