I don't think there is anything wrong with your configuration, I suspect it 
is your NAS that is not sending any accounting records.

You will have to check with your NAS vendor and/or documentation to find out 
how to configure radius accounting.

BTW - you can see what is going on by looking at a Radiator trace 4 debug 
listing.
