We're inexperienced with SELINUX.  However, based on a cursory reading
of

    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/

it appears possible to get the syslog(8) daemon to write to a log file
that lies outside the "acceptable" directory -- without disabling SELINUX
altogether -- by appropriately modifying the file "syslogd.te".

We're going to experiment with this and hope to let you know.
