Did you try uncommenting (removing the leading #) this line? The modemask
indicates which bits must *not* be on in the permissions of the .forward
file. The default is 022.

The log file is telling you that one of the bits specified by modemask
is on. (100664 and 022 = 020, so either set modemask to 002, or change
the permissions on your .forward file.)
