What version of sudo are you using?  For sudo 1.8.12 and higher:

    Debug sudoers.so /var/log/sudoers_debug all at debug

will give you a debug log for the sudoers module (note the ".so" suffix).

For sudo 1.8.4 through 1.8.11 it would simply be:

    Debug sudo /var/log/sudo_debug all at debug

for both sudo and the plugin.  The executable/dso name matters and
must match the sudo.conf line.
