I think there may be an issue with a specific version of logrotate
which puts spurious errors out like this. I'm seeing lots of them
(on Fedora 20) for files which do physically exist. It doesn't cause
any issues, apart from a pointless cron email every night!

I don't know if this is what you are seeing though.
