[syslog-ng]$DATE Macro Dir Creation

Can I do the following for a file destination? If I can why won't it work? The documentation leads me to believe it does. I've done something similar using the $PRIORITY macro to break out some messages into diferrent files. I want messages to log into a date specific directory. destination messages { file("/var/log/$DATE/messages" create_dirs(yes) dir_perm(0640));}; The global config likewise specifies create_dirs(yes); Any help greatly appreciated.
