Hello Monks, I'm using the standard sys::syslog to send events to a Linux syslog, and it works as advertised. The problem I'm having is that some of the data I send to the syslog is from an FTP transaction, which causes syslog to throw an error: 

with syslog:
chmod_dest: /CR_CMPC2BCH/FileList/./replic_2011-06-30_14_51_16.tar.gz 
+(dst): permission denied (server msg: 'This server does not support o
+perations to modify file attributes.')
 sftp> quit
 
Invalid conversion in sprintf: "%\015" at /usr/sec/5.8.5/lib/5.8.5/x86

I really don't understand how I can fix this because it's not even clear to me why this is happening (the leading date?). Could someone have a look and maybe share your thoughts? Thank you for your assistance!
