Neither 0.8.3 or 0.8.4 from SVN worked with syslog using ISO date format.

As a workaround to get fail2ban to work I disabled the ISO date format 
via the following variable in /etc/rsyslog.conf and restarted syslog:

  $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat

Not clean, not nice but got fail2ban working.
