Just have all the snort.conf's log as follows:

output database: log, postgresql, user=snort_db_user \
 dbname=snort host=my-database-backend.mydomain

So output from all sensors is going to a central database. You may
need to tweak the database config and permissions in this case, to
allow remote access - I think you do need to with postgresql at least.

What errors are you seeing? 

cheers,
 Jamie
