Wo! You're almost right. It was *indeed* the permission thing. It should 
have been obvious to me that it was writing correctly to 
/var/log/messages because the syslog facility is run by root.
To be able to write to /var/log/otrs.log I just had to use the www-data 
user (chown-ing to that user/group).

There it goes!

Thanks!
