It might not be relevant, but you also need to have a valid
/etc/syslog.conf entry for this log level. Then you need to restart
syslogd (killall -HUP syslogd).
Note that I once had a painful experience where it took a friend and I a
while to realise that if the log file doesn't exist, syslog doesn't create
it... You need to touch them first.
