A NFS mount is a possibility though that should not prevent logging (except /var is also an NFS mount). Is perhaps the RunAsUser option set to yes in CUPS? Then CUPS would not run as root and therefore would fail for all CUPS-PDF operations except if initiated by root. If already the initialization of CUPS-PDF fails there could be a hint in the error log of CUPS itself.
