Thanks for the reply. That's included below.

I can't get it to work with just a basic call to logger:
logger -p local5.info 123 "this is a test"
I'm actually calling it through Perl and Log::Dispatch::Syslog, but I
don't think the problem is there, as I modeled the new call on already
successful calls to syslog, and the basic test with 'logger' is failing
as well.
Thanks for taking a second look. I appreciate the help!
