The reason for the questions is that it sounds as if your rotation mechanism is moving the old log files away and then creating a new, empty one. Unless you tell it Apache will continue to write to the old log file as it will have it open. When you give the 'graceful' command Apache restarts and re-opens the log file thus writing to the new logs.
