Hi Chris,

That's correct.

The real "magic" for this is here in the logrotate configuration for Apache:

/etc/logrotate.d/apache

/var/log/httpd/access_log {
    daily
    prerotate
        rm -rf /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access >/dev/null 2>&1
        cp /var/log/httpd/access_log /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access
>/dev/null 2>&1
    endscript
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `pidof httpd` 2> /dev/null ; /bin/kill -HUP
`pidof httpd` 2> /dev/null || true
        /usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access
        rm -f /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access >/dev/null 2>&1
        /usr/bin/webalizer.pl
    endscript
}

The relevant part for the sitestats is this here:

/usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access

That actually splits up the logs and rotates them into the Vsite logs
directories. See if you can replicate that by running this here:

cp /var/log/httpd/access_log /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access
/usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /tmp/.logrotate_apache_access

And see what that does.
