Does the xymon user have permission to read the file?

Hi all.
I am really struggling to understand how to monitor msgs in xymon. I have read the man pages over anhd over and nothing I am doing seems to work.
In the client I have the following files in ~/client/etc
client-local.cfg: log:/var/log/messages:4096
localclient.cfg: LOG /var/log/messages warn COLOR=red
The actual msgs report in the xymon web page says
" System logs at Fri May 30 10:29:38 BST 2014 : No log data available
The client did not report any logfile data
"
I need a dummies guide to msgs monitoring!
If anyone could provide such a beast i would be immensely grateful.
cheers
