error running postrotate script, all details included

I have a problem with my logrotate, everytime it tries to rotate the logs, it sends me this email:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron
This is how my /etc/logrotate.d/syslog looks like:
Code: 
/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
}
This is how my /etc/logrotate.conf looks like:
Code: 
weekly
rotate 4
create
include /etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}
This is how my /etc/cron.daily/logrotate looks like:
Code: 
#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0
Everything looks fine, right? Then what's the prob? error running postrotate script, all details included
All my log files are in /var/log/ and most of them DONT get rotated. error running postrotate script, all details included
Here is a look into some of the files in /var/log/ (WHAT IS THAT strange wtmp thing?)
