can't get haproxy to write any logs

haproxy is working great for me, but I can't get it to write any logs messages. I've censored some info by replacing it with <a_name> for privacy reasons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My command line is:

haproxy -dV -f <path_to_config>

I'm executing haproxy as root. I've tried setting the user and group to both nobody and root to see if that mattered. My config file looks like:

global

# log lots of stuff to localhost's syslog
# add the following to /etc/syslog.conf so it listens to the
messages that are sent

         #

         log             localhost local0 debug


         # run as an unprivileged user just in case

#        user            nobody
#        group           nobody
         user            root
         group           root
         chroot          /var/chroot/haproxy


         # limit the total number of connections

         maxconn         10000
         ulimit-n        21000

defaults


         # client timeout can be relatively short

         clitimeout      5000


         # set to 10 seconds longer than the longest prod qpx  

calendar query
         srvtimeout      210000


         # set to 5 seconds because tcp retransmit is 3 sec (I think?)

         contimeout      5000


         # retry failed connection attempts (possibly to different  

backing server)
         retries         3

listen stats :8080
         mode http
         stats uri /


         # doesn't seem like we should need "balance" here, but it  

barfs if it's not there
     balance roundrobin

listen dashboard        :80
         mode tcp
         balance roundrobin
         server  dash-00   <host>:10000 maxconn 1
         server  dash-01   <host>:10001 maxconn 1
	...

Syslogd is running and listening for socket connections:

root 17312 0.0 0.0 3684 632 ? Ss Jul15 0:02 syslogd -m 0 -r

/etc/syslog.conf contains:

# I think this will just be all of the haproxy log messages -matt local0.* /var/log/haproxy.log

My os is:

Linux r42br17 2.6.22.9-61.asl.1.fc3 #1 SMP Tue Nov 6 09:47:40 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I ran a tcpdump:

tcpdump -A dst port 514

and didn't see any messages from haproxy to that port. Again, it's working great, I'm just getting 0 log messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
