Well, now you are outside of JBossAS territory and into Log4j territory. So I would get the source code for log4j and start going through it. My first task would be to write a simple Java app and get it to log to syslog, using an xml config file. If that did not help, or I could not get that to work, I would use a debugger to determine what is going on in log4j.
