As an alternative to namei you can do...

ls -l /var
ls -l /var/log
ls -l /var/log/syslog7

and then give me the print outs.  This will confirm the theory to see if
your hobbit can read the /var/log/syslog7 file or not.

		I'm still amazed at how little this command hasn't
gotten around - it is a real beautiful tool!
		
		Try doing a namei -m /var/adm/sa/sar12 and see if the
hobbit user has the necessary access to read the file (and can execute
directories up to it!)
