SetEnvIf SESSION .+ robot_session
SetEnvIf ROBOTCOP "" !robot_session
SetEnvIf SESSION .+ user_session
SetEnvIf ROBOTCOP .+ !user_session
CustomLog logs/robotlog session_fmt env=robot_session
CustomLog logs/userlog session_fmt env=user_session
etc...

That might not be exactly it, but it should be close.

Now, the one thing that might cause problems is if the other modules set 
the variables too late for mod_setenvif to act on.  That would be 
another great use for the LogVariable directive that Ken and I were 
discussing a week or so ago.
