As far as I know, FS is running as root. Below are the permissions.

I've gone from the 'freeswitch' folder all the way into the inbox folder verifying the same permissions down the line. Should it include 'execute' permissions as well?

I'm a FreeSWITCH novice, but I've been using Unix systems since the early 1980's.
Yes, the 'execute' permission needs to be set.  The execute permission on a directory allows files (and directories) in that directory to be accessed.  A directory with 'read', but not 'execute' permission allows you to see a list of files in that directory, but you can't access them or create new ones.  It is very unusual to see a directory with the permissions you have shown.
