[Zope] Problem with Zen's Logger product ...

I just installed Zen's Logger product but am not seeing any
messages in pcgi.log.  The product is installed correctly
(untar'd in Zope-dir, all file permissions set properly, shows
up in Control Panel|Products).  I then added a few
<dtml-log>log this</dtml-log> tags to check that the product
works but nothing appears in my pcgi.log file.  I began
to wonder if logging is working at all?  The only messages
that appear are on shutdown, e.g.,
	Thu Jan 13 13:18:33 2000  unable to publish module

This is with Zope under Apache installed on a DEC system (OSF1v4):
     Zope version: Zope 2.1.0 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) 
     Python version: 1.5.2 (#1, Aug 10 1999, 10:11:16) [C] 

Permissions for the var directory and contained files are:

drwxrwxrwx   3 www124   100          512 Jan 13 13:20 var

-rw-rw-rw-   1 www124   100      78216229 Jan 13 13:17 Data.fs
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   100         62215 Jan 13 13:18 Data.fs.index
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   100             5 Jan 13 13:20 Data.fs.lock
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   100             0 Jan 13 13:20 Data.fs.tmp
drwxrwxrwx   3 www124   100           512 Dec 20 12:58 gadfly
-rw-rw-rw-   1 www124   100           102 Jan 13 13:18 pcgi.log
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   100             5 Jan 13 13:20 pcgi.pid
srwxrwxrwx   1 nobody   100             0 Jan 13 13:20 pcgi.soc

(An aside, surely these go+w permissions on Data.fs and var are
dangerous in terms of a local user destroying my ZODB?).  Can
I somehow test Zope logging from the python command line by
importing Zope and calling a logging function directly?

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Darran.
