Thanks Fico,

This has to be the first time I've ever seen someone completely omit an
options{}; block. Now I know that syslog-ng will gladly use defaults for all
the options if/when you leave that out.

Anyways, I'm still not completely clear on how exactly your installation is
logging. Are you saying that you have logs going to /var/log/kern.log and
the other NON-MACRO destinations, or are you saying that your macro
filenames in /var/log/hosts/HOST/YEAR/... are being logged but incorrectly,
like /var/log/hosts/YEAR/... ? Please be specific.

I did a syntax check on your config file, and it looks fine to me. What
version are you using?
