This looks fine... Did you verify that the syslog rotate script isn't also
trying to rotate the mail log files? Is mail using the syslog daemon to log
events... If so, you might need to HUP the syslog daemon after moving the logs...

My /etc/logrotate.d/syslog:
/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler 
/var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
     sharedscripts
     postrotate
         /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
     endscript
}
