varnishlog broken after reinstall

[Steven Stone]

Hi,

You should be able to symlink /var/lib/varnish/test-jcornuwe/_.vsm
to /usr/local/var/varnish/test-jcornuwe/_.vsm and Varnishlog will read it.
I had the same problem recently but did not find how to point Varnishlog to
the correct file without the temporary symlink fix.
