The error is still there.  The localstatedir option is now define
twice: there is the old one " --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng" that
you didn't removed and the one you just added: "--localstatedir=/var".
The old  localstatedir wasn't refering to  /usr/var so it has no
effect on the location of the pid file.  You'll need to revert your
change and try  something else.
