I'm no expert here, but since your question still doesn't have a  
reply...

Have you looked into the various continuous integration solutions.   
You'll need some googling, but they're designed to run tests  
regularly against a repository and do things like send emails when a  
test fails.  They may be configurable to log as well.

Finally, I'd dig into the code for Test::Unit::TestCase to find how  
it displays failures.  There might be a function you can over-ride or  
replace easily enough to create the log messages you're looking for.
