Thanks for the reply.

I turned on debug with setting the RSYSLOG_DEBUGLOG and RSYSLOG_DEBUG
environment variables, and it turns out that the problem was due to
permission on the directory /var/log/agalaxy. For example, from the debug
output:

This was owned by root:
ls -ld /var/log/agalaxy
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 11 11:41 /var/log/agalaxy

After I changed the ownership on this directory to syslog, the output
channels are working fine with RainerScript.

Thanks for the help.
