Help with alert_unixsock issues

Hi I am experimenting with the alert_unixsock function.I have had a read of the code and it suggests to me that a socket called snort_alert should be created in the log directory (/var/log/snort).
The socket seems not to be automatically created and I see the error: /var/log/snort/snort_alert file doesn't exist or isn't writeable! when I start Snort.Can anyone shed any light on this? I would have thought the socket would have been created automatically? Is there syntax for the output plug-in that I am missing?
