innd and syslog.dated

I'm running DU 3.0, DEC's cc. Having done a "make all", "make update", and
"make install", and having made an initial pass at /etc/syslog.conf, I started
innd via innd/inndstart. I got the following via syslog:

 Jan 26 00:27:24 omega innd: ME cant fopen /var/log/news/news Permission denied

I have set /etc/syslog.conf to use the syslog.dated construct. I'm wondering
if that's confusing INN. It looks like this:
  kern.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/kern.log
  user.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/user.log
  mail.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/mail.log
  daemon.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/daemon.log
  auth.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/auth.log
  syslog.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/syslog.log
  lpr.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/lpr.log
  
  ## Send critical messages to everyone who is logged in and to the console.
  news.crit *
  news.crit /dev/console
  
  ## Log news messages to separate files.
  ## Note that each level includes all of the above it.
  ## =()<news.crit _at_<_PATH_MOST_LOGS>_at_/news.crit>()=
  news.crit /var/adm/syslog.dated/news.crit
  ## =()<news.err _at_<_PATH_MOST_LOGS>_at_/news.err>()=
  news.err /var/admsyslog.dated/news.err
  ## =()<news.notice _at_<_PATH_MOST_LOGS>_at_/news.notice>()=
  news.notice /var/adm/syslog.dated/news.notice
  
  msgbuf.err /var/adm/crash/msgbuf.savecore
  
  kern.debug /var/adm/messages
  kern.debug /dev/console
  *.emerg *

Has anyone else tried to use syslog.dated with inn, or should I just let innd
(and the myriad cron-based scripts) manage it's logs and forget syslog.dated?
