no worries! i'm tired and spread kinda thin at the moment :)
yes, i ensured that the file and directory exist ahead of time:
$ ls -l /var/log/ |grep influx && ls -l /var/log/influxdb/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 21 21:21 influxdb
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Mar 21 21:21 influxd.log

sure thing.
syslogd.conf (once i get this working i plan on moving relevant bits to
/etc/syslog.d/influx.conf):
