Based on the path=\> part this looks to be on a windows system.  
However i believe you still have to use `D:\*.csv`

Forward slash is correct for Windows. `sincedb_path` should be `NUL` though. Try this.

```auto
file {
 path => "D:/*.csv"
 start_position => "beginning"
 sincedb_path => "NUL"
}

```
