Snort -u not creating logfiles with correct ownership

[Joe S <js.lists () gmail com>]

Snort is not creating the snort unified logs with the proper permissions.

As user root, I run this command to start snort:
/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort/conf -i bridge0 -l 
/nsm/hostname -u snort -g snort -D

'ps -aux | grep snort' shows that snort is running as snort

Actual permissions of log/alert files:
-rw-------  1 root   snort   24104711 Sep 12 23:22 snort.log.1126558421
-rw-------  1 root   snort     471677 Sep 15 12:08 snort.log.1126810692
-rw-------  1 root   snort         24 Sep 15 12:08 snort.log.1126811331
-rw-------  1 root   snort    3572500 Sep 15 13:15 snort.log.1126811364
-rw-------  1 root   snort         24 Sep 15 13:15 snort.log.1126815344
-rw-------  1 root   snort   27977829 Sep 16 08:26 snort.log.1126815408

The logging directory is owned by snort.

What am I missing here?
