Thanks for the quick response….

Syslog-ng is running as root. It does have permission to hit the share, as I can create, modify etc data on that share as root on the local client.

Hmm.. this sounds like a problem with your SELinux/AppArmor policy. Can you check the logfiles for a hint? If it's not SELinux, you could perhaps run syslog-ng under strace and check the return code for the open() call. It most probably is EPERM, in which case it is not syslog-ng to blame, but some kind of local security setup. -- Bazsi
