Two possibilities come to mind:

1) You didn't specify whether you were looking at the main server config 
or the host config.  Blackout periods can be set on a per-host basis, so 
a host config can override the blackout period set in the main server 
config.

2) If a host is frequently unreachable, BPC may ignore the blackout 
period and back it up as soon as it sees it on the network again. This 
is controlled by the BlackoutGoodCnt and BlackoutBadPingLimit settings.
