I have many RHEL 6 servers set up to use disk assisted queues to forward

Just a quick comment - Rsyslog does not delete the last disk-assist spool file 
even after processing the logs it contained; this is normal. See 
http://blog.gerhards.net/2013/07/rsyslog-why-disk-assisted-queues-keep.html for 
details.

So if this is what you're seeing, no need to worry!

although I thought that it did delete it when rsyslog shuts down if all messages have been delivered.

if you configure impstats, it will show you how many messages are in the queue, so you will see if it thinks that they have all been delivered or not (although this may require the .qi file)
