Your config file is syntactically correct (syslog-ng -s), and I don't
see anything wrong at a glance. I suppose I'd make sure it's running (as
root since /var/log has strict file perms by default). Maybe there's
some problem making it exit, so keep it in the foreground in debugging
when you start it and see what you get:

# syslog-ng -d -v
