Just to be clear - which "radius" logs are you trying to redirect and 
did you make sure that syslog is running/configured correctly ?

Straight from the distributed radiusd.conf:

#
#  Destination for log messages.  This can be one of:
#
#	files - log to ${log_file}, as defined above.
#	syslog - to syslog (see also the log{} section, below)
#	stdout - standard output
#	stderr - standard error.
#
#  The command-line option "-X" over-rides this option, and forces
#  logging to go to stdout.
#

That last note is VERY important - if you are testing using -X, you 
won't see anything in syslog.

and further down:

#
#  Logging section.  The various "log_*" configuration items
#  will eventually be moved here.
#
log {
	#
	#  Which syslog facility to use, if ${log_destination} == "syslog"
	#
	#  The exact values permitted here are OS-dependent.  You probably
	#  don't want to change this.
	#
	syslog_facility = daemon
}
