You have both the FileAppender and RollingFileAppender writing to the same file. This is certainly going to cause problems. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Java causes them to share the same OS File and stream objects so only one of the ones Java requests actually works. If it didn't do these you would almost certainly end up with a corrupted output file.
