Thanks Aaron:
After some experimenting...the following worked for me. I think most
people will encounter this issue...
What I had to do was to use truncated directory names!
Here's the line from my server...
#daily rotation
CustomLog "| D:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Apache\bin\rotatelogs.exe
logs\access%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.log 86400 -300" common
One more thing...when I did this, the hour, minute and seconds
always show as 00_00_00, as in access_2005_10_04_00_00_00.log. Is
that what you guys are seeing too? I guess the time doesn't start
when you start the server, it treats it as if it's the beginning of
the day?

This is a line from my production server httpd.conf. It rotates daily.
CustomLog "|D:/WebCore2/Apache2/bin/rotatelogs.exe
D:/WebCore2/Apache2/logs/history/commonLog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.log 86400
-300" combined

Did you mean bin/rotatelogs.exe ?
If that doesn't lick it, what about using 'bin\rotatelogs.exe'?
This might be a very odd case where a shell command's shell
doesn't like
forward slashes (cmd.exe is picky). I've actually worked out how to
nest double quotes at one point, so that the command was
quoted (useful
for paths-in-spaces and forward slashes.)
cmd.exe likes "c:/winnt/notepad.exe" or c:\winnt\notepad.exe
and doesn't
like c:/winnt/notepad.exe.
