Why is our log data from Domino unreadable?

Our administrator is trying to forward data from \Lotus\Domino\Data\IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT\console.log using the Universal Forwarder on a Windows-based Domino server. Instead of nice log data like:

[0C10:001B-0844] 09/27/2011 12:01:16 PM SMTP Server: 163.243.48.184 disconnected. 0 message[s] received

[0BC4:000D-0E90] 09/27/2011 12:01:17 PM Router: Message 0057FF05 transferred to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.COM for bcassill@gmail.com via SMTP

[0BC4:0029-0FB4] 09/27/2011 12:01:17 PM Router: Transferred 1 messages to GMAIL.COM (host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.COM) via SMTP

We get:
\x00\x5\x00\x4\x00\xFF\x2\x1\x00

\xBD\x00\x00\x18\x009\x008\x005\x003\x002\x00/\x00\x16\x00\x13\x00

\x16\x3\x00\x00D\x1\x00\x00@\x3\x00N\x81\xEAB\x11=R\xFFP\x88\x3\xFB\x9D\xF6Ha]\xF9\x18\xAA\xFAlIm\xF8>K&b\xA6

\x00\x5\x00\x4\x00\xFF\x2\x1\x00

Has anyone else seen this?

We got out of the Domino business in the meantime. Sorry I'm no help.

Would you be willing to share your Domino transforms? I've just started on Domino integration.
