The sockets should be getting created here:

#define WPA_SUPPLICANT_GLOBAL_SOCKET	LOCALSTATEDIR"/run/wpa_supplicant-global"
#define WPA_SUPPLICANT_CONTROL_SOCKET	LOCALSTATEDIR"/run/wpa_supplicant"

Do you have a /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global and some files
in /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ ?  Also, you shouldn't be running
wpa_supplicant normally either, since NM spawns its own copy.
