Sigh, I figured that that was the trouble.
Unfortunately, someone else wrote this lovely custom
format, and I have been burdened with parsing it. It
may not be possible, though I'm investigating the
APACHE::ParseLog Perl Module. I figure this too may be
instructional, for those reading this, don't get too
tricky with non standard formats! You may live to make
someone else regret it!

Thanks for your time!
