When I use the configuration you specified I get this exception when I start the broker:

The problem is this line of your configuration:
handler.FILE.rotateSize=5K
The code expects a valid Java long value which represents the number of bytes which are written to the file before rotating. 5K translates into 5120 (5 * 1024). When I used this value everything worked as expected.
