%f is basically the full path name, from the module root (/ if you're
%not talking to a daemon, I believe).

I think you want %n

Curious, the manpage doesn't list --log-format as an option :-)  I would
have used --out-format.

It helps, BTW, if you paste the exact command used, that makes it clear
whether you're connecting to a daemon, what the module name is, etc.
