logging to syslog

I've been having problems with the newest version of snort 2.9.3.1 not sending syslog information to our server.
I've configured snort to install using the command snort -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1 -K ascii -s and 
set the syslog server's IP address in the snort.conf file. I've create a test rule to alert on any IP traffic, and can 
see the logs generate in the log folder, but it doesn't send to the remote syslog server. I've also tested sending the 
syslogs to kiwi on the local snort server and that works fine. This was working with an older version of snort. Is 
there any changes in the new version of snort that needs to be configured to send to syslog?
