The reason why you are seeing the packet_filter.log is
because it gets created before you remove its default filter.
To prevent the log file from being created, try removing the
"&priority=-5" on your bro_init event handler.

The reason why you are seeing those other files is because they
are not created by the logging framework (e.g., stdout.log/stderr.log
are created by broctl).
