Right. I've got it working now and it would appear that the problem was
that I'd not set some global parameters.

Here's what I added to the top of my conf file:

# location for storing queue files on disk
$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog

# file name template, also enables disk mode for the memory queue
$MainMsgQueueFileName incoming_queue

# allocate memory dynamically for the queue. Better for handling spikes
$MainMsgQueueType LinkedList

# when to start discarding messages
#$MainMsgQueueDiscardMark 2000000

# limit of messages in the memory queue. When this is reached, it starts to
write to disk
$MainMsgQueueHighWaterMark 2000000

# memory queue size at which it stops writing to the disk
#$MainMsgQueueLowWaterMark 800000

# maximum disk space used for the disk part of the queue
$MainMsgQueueMaxDiskSpace 5g

# how many messages (messages, not bytes!) to hold in memory
$MainMsgQueueSize 8000000

# don't throttle receiving messages when the queue gets full
$MainMsgQueueTimeoutEnqueue 0

# save the queue contents when stopping rsyslog
$MainMsgQueueSaveOnShutdown on

Hope it helps someone!
