Logging to database and not to log directory

Hello,

I've installed Snort 2.0.2 on Windows. I would like to log to a MS SQL database, and only to the database (not to the 
log directory). I've included these lines in snort.conf:

  config logdir: c:\Snort\log
  config interface: 1
  output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort host=localhost user=sa password=xxx
  output log_null 
  output database: alert, mssql, dbname=snort host=localhost user=sa password=xxx

I run Snort using following command:

snort -c snort.conf

This is the error message I get:

  Running in IDS mode
  Log directory = log
  ERROR:
  [!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "log".

How can I tell Snort to use only database logging ? It looks as if Snort is ignoring the config lines in my snort.conf 
file. The database is set up correctly but remains empty.

Thanks,

Niko
