 That message does not mean that multilog (or anything) has trouble
accessing the log directory. It means that setuidgid has trouble
*running multilog* : execve("/path/to/multilog",...) fails with EPERM.

 For some reason, your multilog binary can't be executed as the Gdnslog
user. Check your daemontools installation, and every component of the
physical path to the multilog binary. Also check that you don't have
a "multilog" binary before /command/multilog in your PATH, as (for
instance) the result of a previous daemontools installation via some
broken third-party package.
