all files are owned by root but others have read permission on all the
files.

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!)
