[et-mgmt-tools] Help debugging Cobbler's syslog support

Yesterday I hit some problem with a new kickstart. While trying to
debug the issue I realized Cobbler's syslog support was no longer
working for me.  Unfortunately I don't know when it stopped working,
only that it was indeed working for me a few weeks ago.  Basically
nothing shows up under /var/log/cobbler/{kicklog,syslog}.  

My setup:

Version: Cobbler 1.1.0 (built from git)
Fedora 8 using rsyslog
Kernel: 2.6.21-2950.fc8xen #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 12:24:34 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
No firewall
Cobbler syslog port: 25150 (It's indeed listening on all interfaces)

I also couldn't figure out what virsh command would show me the
kernel_options for my running guest.  That would help me verify it's
using the correct hostname/port.  If anyone has any idea of where else
I could look to debug this I would greatly appreciate it.
