you should first check what kind of messages are generated.

try strace-ing the client syslogd and see whether it sends messages or not.

if you see a message using strace you should see something like this:

<number>stamp host program message...

number is a bitfield, lowest 3 bits specify the priority of the message
(debug, info, notice, warning, err, crit, alert, emerg)
