Logrotate issue in RHEL

Hi,
I have a requirement to compress logs that generate daily. Below is the logrotate configuration for this

Quote:

/var/log/radius/radacct/detail-???????? {
daily
rotate 3
nocreate
missingok
compress
}

But for some kind of reason the logs are not getting compressed daily. When tried to execute the logrotate manually with -d it says "log does not need rotating."

The path /var/log/radius/radacct has following list of files
detail-20130422
detail-20130423

Please suggest if i am defining wrong somewhere.

Thank you in advance.

       sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sa directory.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/sa/sa2

DESCRIPTION

       The  sa2  command  is  a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sa/sardd file, where the dd
       parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command.

       The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.

EXAMPLES

       To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file:

       5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A &

       This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sa/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old.

FILES

       /var/log/sa/sardd
	      Indicate the daily report file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month.
