I think in terms of syscall auditing you should be able to see all the
syscalls. But at somepoint, it should get the path name and add that to the
record. That might be the part where we are missing a hook. Are you getting
syscall opens, but no files?

You should be able to place watches there or use syscall auditing. Not sure
what you will get, though, for the user accessing the file.
