Hmm.. this sounds like a problem with your SELinux/AppArmor policy. Can
you check the logfiles for a hint?

If it's not SELinux, you could perhaps run syslog-ng under strace and
check the return code for the open() call. It most probably is EPERM, in
which case it is not syslog-ng to blame, but some kind of local security
setup.
