Is syslogd running on your central server? In this case you have to disable syslogd logging from remote (using -s option) .
personally in order to recieve logs from syslogd clients i use this config:
source s_sys {
        udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};

filter f_sys     { level(info..emerg) and not facility(mail); };
destination d_sys {file("/foo/full$DAY.log");};

log { source(s_sys); filter(f_sys) ; destination(d_sys) ;};

The configuration is the standart, I only do the follow changes.

# sources
source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log");
             unix-dgram("/var/run/logpriv" perm(0600));
             udp(); internal(); file("/dev/klog"); };

I add this,
source r_src { udp(ip("client.domain") port(514));  };

I add this,
destination gafanhoto_messages { file("/var/log/gafanhoto/messages"
owner("root") group("wheel") perm(0640)); };

I add this,
log { source(r_src); destination(gafanhoto_messages); };

When I start the syslog-ng..
scorpion# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
Starting syslog_ng.
Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(client.domain:514)',
error='Can\'t assign requested address (49)'
Error initializing source driver; source='r_src'


Could you send us a partial copy of your syslog-ng configuration?

The messages is send to server, the problem is the server that can't 
take the messages.
I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 release.
