You don't have this in your '/etc/logrotate.d/squid'
postrotate
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
This tells squid to close the current log file (renamed to 'access.log.1' by logrotate) and open a new one (named 'access.log')...
>From the doc: "If the file does not get altered for a while, File::Tail gets suspicious and startschecking if the file was truncated, or moved and recreated."
So the script should switch to the new access.log file after a while...
