newsyslog not reading /ect/rc.conf arguments?

Greetings again. Running FreeBSD 8.0, I have added the following to /etc/rc.conf:
  newsyslog_flags="-a /usr/old-log/"
I have stopped and started newsyslog. However, the rotated logs are still being written into /var/log. No errors appear in /var/log/messages or in dmesg.

Any clues?
