From
http://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_logfile
:

"Please note that *debug* is only available if collectd has been compiled
with debugging support."

It's probably not enabled in the build you're using.  You can verify that
logging generally works by switching to LogLevel info.

The solution would be to rebuild and --enable-debug.
