I guess the switch emits malformed format. Use the RSYSLOG_DebugFormat template for this action and post a sample from it. Note that each message will be output on multiple lines, with all the properties as rsyslog sees them. rawmsg is the most interesting one. Be sure to include all properties (messages are sperated by a blank line with this template).
