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.
