Logrotate will not rotate logs from one device (drive) to another.  To
see the error, try running

logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/squid

You should get an error that says something about different devices.

The only solution I have ever figured out to get around this is to
first have logrotate rotate the logs to a tmp directory somewhere on
the same device, then either have cron, or a logrotate postrotate
script move the rotated scripts from the tmp directory to the
directory on the other device using mv.

Hope this helps out.  Try the logrotate command I suggested above and
if it gives a different error (than the different devices one) post it
to the list and hopefully someone can figure out any other issues.
