Thanks Justin that's helpful.  So as I look at my old setup I see that I 
indeed had move and compress manually on a cron job, so I'll just do 
that for the extract_files dir.  Maybe a feature request down the road 
would be (maybe in broctl.conf) to be able to add "pre" rotate and 
"post" rotate scripts.  Just a thought.
