[syslog-ng] Duplicate Host paths for destination

17 May 2007

      Running syslog-ng 1.6.12 on Fedora 6 (2.6.20-1.2933.fc6) 

I'm running into a weird problem that I can't seem to figure out. When my 
logs from syslog-ng write out the $FULLHOST path seems to repeat itself by 
nesting another level. 

So instead of getting what I want:
/var/log/syslog-ng/server.msu.edu 

I get:
/var/log/syslog-ng/server.msu.edu/server.msu.edu 

Not sure what is going on here, I've included my configuration which is 
pretty simple. 

Thanks for any assistance to this, I'm sure I overlooked something so very 
simple.
