I'm not sure the timestamp of the log file indicates the log rotation. It's the last write time.
Not sure about this but, I can see on some of my sites with no traffic the log rotation file date reflecting the last log entry in the log file.
In other words, look in the log file with a last "write date" of 8:09pm EST. Do you have a log entry past the 8:09pm mark ?
Apache with the mod_log_rotate module does not use the same algorithm then IIS for the handling of log files. With IIS the log file cache is 128KB(or 64KB) per log file. This cache is not cleared until midnight. So all log files have a timestamp of around midnight. With Apache & mod_log_rotate, I notice that my sites have logs files with timestamps all over the map. With one consistency: my high traffic sites all have a timestamp past 11:59PM.
If you look inside the log file you will see that all is in order (I just checked a few log files my self): entries go from 00:00 to 23:59 for busy site. Even though timestamps of the log files are all over the map.
