rsyslog logs **INVALID PROPERTY NAME**$HOSTNAME**INVALID PROPERTY NAME**

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

I am using version 5.8.10 of the rsyslogd server provided with RHEL 6.3. I am developing a template and wanting the program to create a folder based on the senders hostname as shown below.

$template DailyPerHostLogs,"/var/log/syslog/%$HOSTNAME%/%$YEAR%/%$month%/%HOSTNAME%-%$MONTH%-%$DAY%-%$YEAR%.log"

All the folders are created but the top level folder is named INVALID PROPERTY NAME$HOSTNAMEINVALID PROPERTY NAME.
