Looks like you've told nginx to log to syslog, not a file, so you
would need to set logging facility and location in the config for
syslogd.
If that's not what you want, recompile without that option and you'll
get your log files back.

see
http://wiki.nginx.org/CoreModule#error_log
you need something like:
error_log /var/log/nginx-vhostname-error.log info;
for your included servers, or in nginx.conf somewhere.
