You said you used a different package to install the old server.  It
probably dropped in the logrotate.d/hobbit config file for you, and the
one you used this time didn't.

My point was that you need a cron job (/etc/cron.daily/logrotate), and a
logrotate config file (/etc/logrotate.conf) for logrotate to be running
and "see" the logrotate.d/hobbit config.  I think FC6 does set that up by
default (see if you have /var/log/messages.1, etc, if so logrotate is
running).  Drop the logrotate.d/hobbit file in, and see if it starts
rotating.  If not, look at the other two files.
