Here is a errata posted related to a bugfix for RHEL 5, selinux policy and manually creating the /var/spool/rsyslog directory from redhat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666513

you should be able to just create the /var/spool/rsyslog directory:

Code: Select all

root@logserv1# mkdir /var/spool/rsyslog

and restart rsyslogd
