Could you test my theory by either:

1) running perdition as root or
2) Making sure that nobody has read and write access to the log file.

Although in terms of 2) I notice that there is no log file specified
in your configuration, which implies that perdition should be logging
to syslog, but that isn't consistent with the errors taht you are seeing.

The following (untested) patch to vanessa_logger may help
to shed some light on the problem.
