This is normal, although it seems that your files are being rotated
fairly often.  Basically this message is from xisuper, the "supervisor"
of Xitami, and it is expiring old log files which are older than the
expiry time that you've sent.

Curiously it seems to be expiring two of them per hour, which suggests
that your log files (or at least one of two of them) are being rolled
over hourly.  That seems a little often to be rolling over the log files
to me; I tend to use weekly, or daily on busy sites.

But no, it's not someone breaking in.
