Basically if it's logging to another file that has the same ownership and permissions as router.log you should be okay. > Hm. I am running out of ideas on this one.

Because the default flag is "-s", which means it won't log messages from other systems. If you had your previous stuff in /etc/rc.conf and just commented it out then you'll get the default. Change /etc/rc.conf to have the line: syslogd_flags="" (or just kill syslogd and run it with no arguments) and see if that works.
