The problem is fixed now. He made a copy of his rsyslog.conf file and then replaced his original version with the version from my system, restarted the service and now he's getting the log messages. His original version was 56 lines and the version on my system is 78 lines. I'm not sure if I want to have a cmwAmbassador.log. For now am happy with the messages going to the general file.
