Which programs are logged before or after those messages? What daemons/programs are running when it logs that messages? [hint: ps -ax] Because I think some program is trying to issue a syslog() funtion but it fills the first parameter of syslog(priority,...) wrongly and thus you get a `unknown priority name'. See syslog(3).
