Just found this and it's covering similar ground to bug #407862. From my experience in that bug:

I agree that $DirOwner and $DirGroup should be configured.
I agree that $DirGroup, $FileGroup and $PrivDropToGroup have to be the same for rsyslog to create dynamic files properly.

However I don't believe $PrivDropToGroup _should_ have to be the same as the others.

I'm also uncomfortable running rsyslog as adm as this gives access to facilities which are irrelevant and, conversely, I don't like the idea of putting a user in group adm (so they can see logs amongst other things) into group syslog although that's waht I am doing at the moment.
