Here's a copy of my cfg file:  http://pastebin.com/GtDwWKWr
I tried to run with the switches you mentioned... but i still don't get anything logged to syslog.
?
sorry... and thanks for your patience.

I've added some debug statements using the XLOG function like so:

xlog("L_INFO", "my custom message");

but none of my debug statements appear in syslog.  I don't get any errors either when I restart kamailio.
any suggestion?
I am loading the module in kamailio.cfg... I see a line that says "loadmodule xlog.so"
and i've also added a modparam for the log like so: 
modparam("xlog", "buf_size", 8192)

Start kamailio in the foreground with "-D 1 -E" and you'll see the log messages on your console if Kamailio runs. If you haven't got a listen address in the config, you might want to add a "-l <param>" to force kamailio to listen to the right IP address (replace <param> with a listen address, run "kamailio -h" for docs).
