Hi

have the Splunk UF user read access to this directory? And are you restarted UF after updating configurations?

Usually when you are monitoring directory you should add white lists there or other option is use file name and define sourcetypes for those at same time?

You could see what splunk thinks that it should be read by 

splunk btool inputs list monitor:///opt/apps/mule-runtimes/mule--ee-runtime-1/logs --debug

Another tool to see what it has read is 

splunk list inputstatus
