Are you sure that's the only line you have for /var/log/security in
your /etc/newsyslog.conf file?  The distributed config file has:

/var/log/security			600  10	   100	*     JC

Obviously you have a different entry from that, but did you remove
the original entry?

I tried changing the permissions-field in my newsyslog.conf from 600
to 644, and newsyslog worked correctly for me.
