Hi,

Try putting the user and group in quotes, like this:

- - -
destination d_gb {
    file("/log/gb/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
        owner("log")
        group("log")
        );
    };
- - -

Hope This Helps!

(This should probably be documented somewhere... At least there
shouldn't be a non-working example of using group/owner-directives in
the FAQ.)
