I bet my Halloween candy that the directory, c:/logs/, didn't exist prior to starting Tomcat. Log4j doesn't create directories if they don't already exist. I just tried it and it works fine. If said directory does exist, then the working path for tomcat is not on the same drive as your "logs" directory.
