TF2 server log issue

I'm trying to figure out why my server creates this type of log file every time I change the map or restart my server (I have "log off" in both my server's autoexec.cfg and my server.cfg):

L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:49: Log file started (file "logs\L0525007.log") (game "C:\servers\bearforce1\tf") (version "5304")
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:49: Loading map "cp_snakewater"
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:49: Executing dedicated server config file server.cfg
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: server_cvar: "tf_gamemode_cp" "1"
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: server_cvar: "sv_tags" "cp,nocrits,nodmgspread"
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: WARNING: ClientActive, but we don't know his SteamID?
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: "SourceTV<2><BOT><>" entered the game
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: "SourceTV<2><BOT><Unassigned>" joined team "Spectator"
L 05/25/2013 - 17:33:51: Log file closed

My server used to never make any log files unless tournament mode had been activated; then once tournament mode was deactivated it would end the logging.

(This was done by only placing "log on" in my server's \cfg\sourcemod\soap_live.cfg and placing "log off" in my server's \cfg\sourcemod\soap_notlive.cfg, a trick Fog mentioned once).

It feels almost as if this code is being done before my server's autoexec.cfg or server.cfg are even being executed.

Has anyone else encountered this? The OCD within me is disgusted by all these 1kb log files in my server's log folder.
