There are several things to check here. The first is whether or not cron based (not ns-crond but a real cron job) can rotate the log files. If it can, then the problem is most likely the result of the restat script which ns-crond utilizes, not being able to respond the kill -HUP which it must in order for the ns-crond to function properly.
