nginx not logging access

[cob]

It does seem to be logging some access (on my local network and then
looping back in from my router's IP), but I'm not seeing access from
someone external to my house.  I can see that a connection exists in
netstat, I can see my transmitted bytes incrementing when I look at
eth0, but nginx has failed to log this to the access.log.  Obfuscations
were made to protect the innocent.

Here is netstat:

tcp        0 197100 home-srv.local:8000     ip1-2-3-5.aj.:52927
ESTABLISHED

Here you can see eth0 tx incrementing (pulled within a second of each
other):

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 48:5b:39:86:b0:09
          inet addr:192.168.1.10  Bcast:192.168.1.255

And here you can see nginx has not logged any file access today.  This
is where the log ends, I have not accessed the server today. 
99.99.99.99 was my wife accessing the URL I sent her for this file she
was trying to get to her friend, she clicked the link I emailed her,
which was to our external IP on port 8000 (residential VDSL, incoming 80
is blocked).
