[Charles Jennings]

It needs to be the very first line in the file.  You have it as the second
line.

Did as suggested.

The errors are now a lot less but now syslog-ng won't start.

Here's the error I get 

[root at soc-nsm-002 init.d]# ./syslog-ng restart

At the very top of your config file, it will need to have:

@version: 3.0

You'll just need to remove the # sign.
