ucspilogd + ipcserver but no logs

qconfirm and my setup do not get along well]

Hi,

I'm really tired of syslogd eating my logs, so I'm trying to get this
setup to work. My service directory is as in the ucspilogd tarball,
which means:

605,p1,0$ pwd
/var/service/ucspilogd

606,p1,0$ cat run 
#!/command/execlineb -P
fdmove -c 2 1
emptyenv -p
envuidgid nobody
ipcserver -U /dev/log
ucspilogd 

607,p1,0$ cat log/run 
#!/command/execlineb -P

setuidgid log

define L /var/log/ucspilogd

emptyenv
multilog $L/main
  -* "+*: *: kern.*" $L/kern
  -* "+*: *: user.*" $L/user
  -* "+*: *: daemon.*"  $L/daemon
  -* "+*: *: auth.*" +authpriv.* $L/auth
  -* "+*: *: syslog.*" $L/syslog
  -* "+*: *: news.*" $L/news
  -* "+*: *: cron.*" $L/cron
  -* "+*: *: local*.*" $L/local
  -* "+*: *: *.debug*" $L/debug

Stopped syslogd and got everything is up and running:

613,p1,0$ ps auxww | grep syslogd

614,p1,1$ sudo svstat . log/
.: up (pid 14097) 36 seconds, normally down
log/: up (pid 14098) 36 seconds

615,p1,0$ sudo fstat | grep ipcserver
nobody   ipcserver  14097 root /             2 drwxr-xr-x    1024  r

616,p1,0$ sudo netstat -A | grep log
db71f8c0 stream      0      0 dbca7280        0        0        0 /dev/log

620,p1,0$ sudo fstat | grep db5527c0

nobody   ipcserver  14097    2* pipe db552540 <-> db5527c0      0 rw
root     supervise  11581    0* pipe db5527c0 <-> db552540      0 rw
root     supervise  11580    1* pipe db552540 <-> db5527c0      0 rw
root     svscan       162   22* pipe db5527c0 <-> db552540      0 rw
root     svscan       162   23* pipe db552540 <-> db5527c0      0 rw

AFAICT ipcserver has /dev/log as stderr, and multilog is reading from
the pipe, however I can see no logs:

629,p1,1$ logger foo
629,p1,0$ ls -al /var/log/ucspilogd/user/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   2 log  wheel  512 Feb 10 21:31 .
drwxr-xr-x  11 log  wheel  512 Feb 10 21:31 ..

I would have expected a current file to appear, since 'man logger' tells
me that the default is user.notice.

What am I missing?
