Frank, in spooling directory , it will always pick up all the new files dropped into directory. Be sure that you do not have files which are still being written into in the same directory.
In normal use cases, they have a staging directory where they have current on going log writing. And then you can use logrotate to move the files from your log directory to spooling directory. Spooling directory requires the directory from which it needs to pick up files and you can not put a file name in the config (as far as I know) If you want to concentrate on those filenames only then I would suggest to only move those files into the spooling directory.
