I realize the two methods log different information. I've looked
through the Wiki, but either it does not really explain the
difference, or I'm just not searching for the correct terms to find
this information.
So, some questions...
1) --syslog and --logpath(* and it's corresponding settings) cannot be
used at the same time?

2)--logpath (*) should be used for more detailed logs and --syslog for
more general logging?

3) is there a -v level that corresponds to the output for various the
syslog levels?

currently both are set to log to the same location, however only the
"syslog" seems to appear. This would make me think the answer to 1 is
no and that syslog "trumps" the logpath output.

Thanks for the help everyone!

As I look into this issue more it's beginning to look like the
recordings may actually be made but are being deleted very quickly
(perhaps being placed in the LivetTV group?) so I've got some digging
to do =P
