I am having problems getting the syslog to write to something outside the /var/log directoryâ..
You mean the file you want to write to is not in /var/log?
With SELinux enabled, the directory the file lives in must be labeled with system_u:object_r:var_log_t and the file itself with root:object_r:var_log_t (or user_u:object_r:var_log_t, depending on the file). Either change the label by hand or add an appropriate line to the file_contexts file.
If you're not familiar with SELinux, read the release notes and the other information pointed to in this document.
