Could you let me know the results of these commands:
ls -l /var/lib/logcheck
ls -l /var/log/syslog
getent passwd logcheck
groups logcheck

Also, debugging output may help (logcheck -d)

This is sounding like a permissions issue, but I'm curious as to how it has
arrisen.  Do you have any special configuration for logcheck/logrotate?

Cheers,
