2 things to check:
1. You mentioned the /var/log/tomcat5/ directory. Did you create /var/log/tomcat5/ or /var/log/tomcat5? Note also that it'll need to be writable by whatever user is running Tomcat/log4j.
2. Is your syslog daemon configured to accept events over IP sockets (bind to a port), and not just locally (ie, /dev/log)? You might test that by generating an event with "logger" and see whether that appears in the system syslog and/or your remote log host. Instructions at http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/configuration/generate-a-test-remote-syslog-message
It could also be that log4j isn't receiving any messages, but that config looks sane at first pass.
If you want to test with a known-good syslog receiver, make a free account at http://papertrailapp.com/ and add a system. You'll get a hostname that you can log to, and should be able to drop that into the SyslogAppender then see your messages appear. If you don't see messages appearing, they aren't being generated.

net::server::log::sys::syslog
Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog(3)
NAME
Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog - log via Syslog
SYNOPSIS
use base qw(Net::Server::PreFork);
__PACKAGE__->run(
log_file => 'Sys::Syslog',
syslog_ident => 'myapp',
);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides Sys::Syslog logging to the Net::Server system.
CONFIGURATION
log_file
To begin using Sys::Syslog logging, simply set the Net::Server log_file configuration parameter to "Sys::Syslog".
If the magic name "Sys::Syslog" is used, all logging will take place via the Sys::Syslog module. If syslog is used the parameters
"syslog_logsock", "syslog_ident", and "syslog_logopt",and "syslog_facility" may also be defined.
syslog_logsock
Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". May be either unix, inet, native, console, stream, udp, or tcp, or an arrayref
of the types to try. Default is "unix" if the version of Sys::Syslog < 0.15 - otherwise the default is to not call setlogsock.
See Sys::Syslog.
syslog_ident
Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". Id to prepend on syslog entries. Default is "net_server". See Sys::Syslog.
syslog_logopt
Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". May be either zero or more of "pid","cons","ndelay","nowait". Default is
"pid". See Sys::Syslog.
syslog_facility
Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". See Sys::Syslog and syslog. Default is "daemon".
DEFAULT ARGUMENTS FOR Net::Server
The following arguments are available in the default "Net::Server" or "Net::Server::Single" modules. (Other personalities may use
additional parameters and may optionally not use parameters from the base class.)
Key Value Default
## syslog parameters (if log_file eq Sys::Syslog)
syslog_logsock (native|unix|inet|udp
|tcp|stream|console) unix (on Sys::Syslog < 0.15)
syslog_ident "identity" "net_server"
syslog_logopt (cons|ndelay|nowait|pid) pid
syslog_facility w+ daemon
METHODS
"initialize"
This method is called during the initilize_logging method of Net::Server. It returns a single code ref that will be stored under the
log_function property of the Net::Server object. That code ref takes log_level and message as arguments and calls the initialized
log4perl system.
"handle_log_error"
This method is called if the log_function fails for some reason. It is passed the Net::Server object, the error that occurred while
logging and an arrayref containing the log level and the message. In turn, this calls the legacy Net::Server::handle_syslog_error
method.
