Logging works from 'manage.py shell', not from app

Hi all. I'm stumped on something. Using logging via 'manage.py shell' is working as expected. Using it in the webapp generates zero data and zero errors. NOTE: /var/log/hostdb.log is WORLD WRITABLE (in order to dodge any permissions errors right now while debugging this) My logging settings are
