VCO 5.5.2.1 - no logs from system.log in the client

I have VCO 5.5.2.1  both in the home lab and the  work lab.   The instance in the work lab does not show  System.log messages in the VCO client window.  They are logged to the scripting.log file just fine. 

I've cleared my java cache,  installed a fresh appliance in the work lab  and still no logs. Has anyone seen this?

Thanks for the advice

Mike
