Problems with newsyslog

I have just acquired a new virtual server and have set up newsyslog.conf 
to mirror that on my old virtual server.  On my old server the logs are 
rotated and compressed without any problems.  The old server runs 
FreeBSD 4.9.

The new server runs FreeBSD 4.10, and I'm getting the following errors 
reported by Cron
-------
newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 84000: Operation not permitted
newsyslog: log /var/log/maillog.0 not compressed because daemon(s) not 
notified
newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 43506: Operation not permitted
newsyslog: log /var/log/ssl_engine_log.0 not compressed because 
daemon(s) not notified
...
------

pid 84000 refers to /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
pid 43506 refers to /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL

I cannot see any difference in way I have setup newsyslog and am at a 
loss to know how to proceed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Graeme
