(Get the code!)
Seth is correct,
when a message is sent across a unix based file socket their is a cross check (one check for the sender, and another for the receiver). In this case the receiving end of the message (rsyslogd) does not have the correct permission (r perm).
The reason this is reported with the pid and comm of other processes is that the check (for both sender and receiver) is done in the kernel context of the sending process.
