Thanx for your bug report, but this is intended behaviour. 

You have 2 options here:

* change logfilepattern in config.xml or on command line e.g. to:
  <param name='logfilePattern' value='HOSTNAME]-[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]-[hh]-[mm].log'
/>
  or - simulating simple log rotation - use:
  <param name='logfilePattern' value='HOSTNAME]-[mm].log' />

* use 1.1.0-M6 testing release with logAppend parameter in config.xml or on
command line:

  <param name='logAppend' value='true' />

See documentation in config.xml:
               
****************************************************************************
* Append log files instead of overwriting existing files.
* NOTE: You can specify a log file pattern which will create a new file on
* each run. Appending logs might cause problems with some log rotation
* scripts as well. So use it with caution.
*
* Default value      : "false"
* Command-line switch: /logAppend
****************************************************************************

               
****************************************************************************
* Pattern to generate the log file name.
* Recognized patterns:
* [HOSTNAME] replaced by the executing hostname
* [PROFILE]  replaced by the applying profile name
* [YYYY]     replaced by year (4 digits)
* [MM]       replaced by month number (2 digits)
* [DD]       replaced by the day of the month (2 digits)
* [hh]       replaced by hour of the day (24h format, 2 digits)
* [mm]       replaced by minute (2 digits)
* [ss]       replaced by second (2 digits)
*
* Examples:
* "wpkg-[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]-[HOSTNAME].log"
*               results in a name like "wpkg-2007-11-04-myhost.log"
* NOTE: Using [PROFILE] causes all messages before reading or profiles.xml
*       to be temporarily written to local %TEMP% folder. So they might
*       appear on the final log file with some delay.
* Default value      : "wpkg-[HOSTNAME].log"
* Command-line switch: /logfilePattern:<pattern>
*
* Note:
* The default pattern allows tracing of last execution without polluting
* the log directory. Subsequent executions will overwrite the same log file.
****************************************************************************
