The default config file /etc/nxlog.cof has nxlog-ce running as the user nxlog with group nxlog. That user likely does not have access(permissions) to the file locations you are trying to read.

    What about the permissions on /var/log/freeradius ? The user needs to be able to see and get inside of that directory as well (+x)

    In this case, NXLog cannot access the directory. You either have to change the rights from freerad:freerad to freerad:nxlog, or give read and execution bit (755 instead of current 750) to everyone, or nxlog user has to belong to the freerad group so that nxlog can access the directory.
