I did see the the "rename error" message from logback in the console window in the environment I do have access to.
It seems that the main logfile needs to have permissions of full rights for all users if multiple users are going to run the program, in order for this to work. Ironically, I have even found that an adminstrative user, who has the rights to delete or rename this file in Windows Explorer, even if he is not its "owner", does NOT have sufficient rights to rename it when running the application (part of the logback rollover process) if he is not its owner. Why would he be allowed to rename a file he doesn't own in the gui but not in java? Is this a bug in how logback (or java) performs the rename operation?
I think I've found my answer. It's at http://logback.qos.ch/codes.html#renamingError
