Thanks for writing that wiki.

In my sbbs.ini UNIX secion I commented out the Users and Group via ;

I also switched to the same logFacility as your config
LogFacility=3

The changes I made to my UNiX session logging. 
I don't really understand why using Facility=S creates a single log.
S (for single ?)

We've got the same OS.

I'll change my folder ownership back to the users and group sbbs is running 
under.

In the rsyslog.d file I did set those correctly.
I noticed if all those are not set correctly rsyslog.service failes to start or
degrades. I missed one when editing the file after copy and past from your 
wiki. 

Thank you nelgin, your post was a huge help.
