I've been having some trouble myself with the rotation recently.
FYI, I tracked it down to the logrotate.d script for squid. It was running:

  test ! -e /var/log/squid.pid || squid3 -k rotate

when squid builds the pid at /var/logs/squid.pid.

That stopped squid from actually doing the rotate unless it was run
manually as root.
