Have you flashed your phone, or made it writable since you first 
received it?

There's currently a bug that can cause the group permissions of /var/log 
to get corrupted, preventing syslog from being created.  That said, this 
has only been seen on devices that are repeatedly flashed.  It hasn't 
yet been seen on a factory device.

To fix, you need run the following command as root on the phone:

# chgrp syslog /var/log

...and reboot.
