If this happens for all services and loggers, then I'd guess svscan is
not running.  (This could be because you created /service before
installing daemontools, or because you didn't reboot after installing,
if you're on BSD.)  If it happens only for loggers (all or some), then
I'd guess you created the log directories after their parent services
were already running; svscan checks for a logger only once when it
first notices a server.  In either case, you can try rebooting to make
sure everything starts up cleanly.
