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!)

does the hobbit user have access to the logs and the files?
