I think (but I'm not sure) that permissions will be reversed by mtree.

Won't work either. *if* you're going to do that you should alter  
/etc/devfs.conf

Never used the *traditional* log style with syslog-ng, I stored  
everything per day/month/year/server.

I ended up running syslog-ng as root, which is probably a bad idea as  
well, so I cannot give you any advice on this one.
