I have had wierd issues in the past with files not being there and certain
parts not creating them for me. If I create the file then I know for
positive it is there and I can exclude that from the list of possible
issues.

Just my 2c.

Does the file exist?

touch /var/log/snort/filename.log?

really? the log file must be created before it can be used? snort should do
this
on it own, right? the only other thing i can thing of is a permissions
problem... even if the file exists, snort may not be able to access it due
to
directory or file permissions...

    Does the logto feature work?  I'm running 2.9.0.4 on Kubuntu 10.10.
 I've tried

    ...; logto:"filename.log"; ...

    ...; logto:filename.log; ...

    ...; logto:"/var/log/snort/filename.log"; ...

    It doesn't appear that filename.log ever gets created.

    Do I need to change something in my snort.conf file?
