Some more comments: AFAIK the CDR files are closed after writing. Thus, 
if logrotate rotetes the CDR, there is no need to execute asterisk -rx 
'logger reload'. This is only needed if logrotate rotates the files in 
/var/log/asterisk/.

Further, there is a deadlock bug: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7195

PS: my /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk file:
/var/log/asterisk/messages /var/log/asterisk/*log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 14
    compress
    delaycompress
    postrotate
        /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
    endscript
}

/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/*csv /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/*csv {
   monthly
   missingok
   rotate 6
   compress
   delaycompress
}
