I just tried this and it worked.

When you set up the "fixed log name", did you first browse to
a folder in which you have write permission? (The default
is probably not writable by you.)

Are you sure you saved the Default? If you bring up PuTTY via
the GUI, are your settings showing in the Session Logging config
panel?

Also, the "fancy" log names use "&" before variable names,
not "%".
