Hi Joe!
Are you sure that syslog-ng is successful in creating a persistent child running that mysql command line? You should see in "ps -elf" a syslog-ng process with a child process running that mysql command line. That seems to be it: No mysql-child at all is beeing created. No wonder no records are written to the database.
I see that you have already tried sending the output to a file and it looks ok that way. The only other thing I can suggest is to send it to a script of your own instead of mysql and in your script you can see *exactly* what mysql would receive on its stdin. I'll do that and let you know the results.
Thanks a lot!
