as per logs, it seems it is reading the log file.
what's the search you using to search the data? Have a search across all your splunk for some keyword from CSV. It might have come up as another sourcetype or different index

index=* sourcetype=* <somekeyword_from_csv_file> earliest=-1000d latest=+100d | stats count by sourcetype,index

run btool on sourcetype csv for props.conf & transforms.conf to check if it is getting overridden somewhere.

Those are informational messages, I don't see an error. Also, don't set a crcSalt if you don't need any.
The file is not getting ingested? Any WARN or ERROR messages from TailingProcessor in your log?
