Are you sure that it is _getting_ the log files and not just updating
the timestamp on them to indicate that they are current?

WWWOFFLE does try and ask the server the date of the files on the FTP
server and decide if they should be re-fetched. It is possible that
the server does not understand what WWWOFFLE is saying or it is lying
about the age of the files.
Try enabling the highest debugging level (run 'wwwoffled -d 6') and
see if you get any messages that look like:
FTP: sent 'MDTM %s'; got: %s
where the first '%s' is the filename and the second '%s' is the reply.
