The logs are opened after permissions are dropped. Therefore,
the logs must be owned by the non-privileged user that the nsd
process will run as. That's why, in your case, the logs must
be at least writable by user "nobody" or group "nobody".

Are you sure such a group "nobody" exists? Isn't the
generic "no permissions" group called "nogroup"?
What does "grep no /etc/group" yield? Do you have a
"nobody" group?
