As Nathan already pointed out it might be a routing problem.

Which way you want the syslog messages to go?

If it should leave via management interface you see it in the tcpdump when specifying an interface of "

If it should leave through one of the VLANs you see it in the tcpdump when specifying an interface of "
-nnni 0.0 -e
" in combination with the layer 2 header data.

This way you make sure the messages go through the right path and dont get dropped by a firewall.

Perhaps the missing packets show up in your firewall logs?
