You may need to add the chkconfig lines to the beginning of your RC file
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng)

Here's ours for comparison:

# the following information is for use by chkconfig
# if you are want to manage this through chkconfig (as you should), you
must
# first must add syslog-ng to chkconfig's list of startup scripts it
# manages by typing:
#
#               chkconfig --add syslog-ng
#
# DO NOT CHANGE THESE LINES (unless you know what you are doing)
# chkconfig: 2345 12 88
# description: syslog-ng is the next generation of the syslog daemon. \
# syslog-ng gives you the flexibility of logging not only by facility and \
# severity, but also by host, message content, date, etc. it can also
replace \
# klogd's function of logging kernel messages
#
# This following block of lines is correct, do not change! (for more info,
see

# Provides: $syslog
### END INIT INFO
