If you read the manual for tcpdump, you'll see that the 93 and 88
represent the amount of "user data" in the UDP packet.

The port numbers are attached to the IP addresses as the fifth number:

> 14:08:56.678016 0:2:fd:1:4c:a0 0:50:8b:c8:19:5d 0800
> 135: 192.168.50.193.1480 > 192.168.50.199.514:  udp 93

The above packet is from port 1480 of 192.168.50.193 to port 514
of 192.168.50.199.

Have you looked to see whether syslogd is logging any error messages?
Like, perhaps, that the file you want to log to doesn't exist?

Just a thought...
