I don't have a lot to offer, but I have found it very helpful for debugging to put a sample syslog message (or multiple) above each SEC rule in my config file. If for some reason, something doesn't work, you can check your regular expressions against the log message.
The next one may be a little off topic, but helpful. I use a single config file and I always add 'continue=DontCont' when appropriate. This prevents unneeded pattern matching and also makes the following possible. I have a "Catch All" rule. The last rule in the file matches everything and writes it all to a file. This is helpful in finding log entries that I am not doing anything with.
