Start with tcpdump on the receiving machine:
tcpdump 'port 514'
to see if you're even receiving messages from the monowall machine.

If not, then double-check your config on the monowall machine.  If so,
check the receiving machine.

Did you restart syslogd on both systems after making config changes?
