In my experiences, I've only used 
	syslogd_flags="-a 192.168.50.0/24"
which will catch all udp from the above specified subnet.  Since tcpdump
saw everything, this means you are receiving the packets in promiscuous
mode.  Change the syslogd_flags specification and check to see if your
firewall is not blocking them.
