[syslog-ng] create_dirs(yes) doesn't actually create directories

[root@xxxxx ~]# syslog-ng --version syslog-ng 1.6.9 global options from syslog-ng.conf: options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (yes); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (yes); keep_hostname (yes); }; Here's three lines from the config, the /var/log/services directory exists, but the network dir doesn't get created. From what I understand of the reference manual.. create_dirs(yes) *should* create them, yes? I have about 30 directories, and I'd rather not create them by hand. :) Permissions on all directories above /var/log/services are correct. (rwxr-x-r-x) Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks in advance, Ian
