Oh the evtsys.cfg file has nothing other than the blank default comments.

'!!!!THIS FILE IS REQUIRED FOR THE SERVICE TO FUNCTION!!!!
'
'Comments must start with an apostrophe and
'must be the only thing on that line.
'
'Do not combine comments and definitions on the same line!
'
'Format is as follows - EventSource:EventID
'Use * as a wildcard to ignore all ID's from a given source
'E.g. Security-Auditing:*
'
'In Vista/2k8 and upwards remove the 'Microsoft-Windows-' prefix
'**********************:**************************

OK after a lot of debugging I think I know what is going on.  When setting up 
the filters the host is all capitals and within the syslog-ng it is matching 
the host from it as lowercase against the sent message is uppercase.  Once I 
figured this out then all is good.  Might be a good thing to put in the doco's.

Thanks for responding back with your solution. I will add this about syslog-ng 
to the docs.
