It does not seem that the "olddir" option supports variables? Does anyone have any advice on how to get this completed.

I am not sure about logrotate's ability to shell out to run random
commands, but what you could do is write a shell script to build this
file with the values needed, cron it to run at say 11am, let logrotate
run and then nuke the file. It is certainly a hack, but it would work.
