I'd be incredibly surprised if FreeRADIUS was at fault; it should be easy enough to confirm with strace -Ff though. Look for /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/config in the output, and verify that the call to open the file is issued correctly.

As you're running a Red Hat derived system, my money would be on SELinux blocking access to the file.

You can confirm this by installing policycoreutils-python, and running "audit2allow -a -w". Most likely cause would be that the file is mislabelled (ls -alZ will show you the labels).
