Get rid of this -- /var/log/syslog/* -- in your configuration file, or use an "olddir" directive as Jorge suggested. "man logrotate" says this: "Please use wildcards with caution. If you specify *, logrotate will rotate all files, including previously rotated ones. A way around this is to use the olddir directive or a more exact wildcard (such as *.log)."
