The current release has "CentOS release 5.6 (Final)" in 
/etc/redhat-release.  If you are running "5" then you may be seriously 
behind on updates.

The configuration for xferlog is in /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log:

/var/log/xferlog {
     # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly
     nocompress
     missingok
}

What do you have?
