Without any more information on the services that write to those logs I'll take a wild guess and say that these still have an open handle on the files you're rotating. Usually there's a mechanism like in the second-to-last line, sending a signal (usually SIGHUP or SIGUSR1) to the process, telling it to re-read the configuration and/or recreating the log files.
If there's no such thing, you'll probably have to restart the daemon.
