I don't think it is a permission problem because exim should run with
the same permisions wheter it is in the foreground or the background.
Can anybody confirm this?
I removed the clean up code from the exiscan patch to see what the files
looked like after a successful scan. Here are the results:
ls -l /var/spool/exim-scan/scan/
total 0
drwxr-x--- 2 exim exim 272 Jun 4 12:54 17FGdh-0005AI-00
ls -l /var/spool/exim-scan/scan/17FGdh-0005AI-00/

-rw-rw-rw- 1 exim exim 7 Jun 4 12:54 textfile1
-rw-rw-rw- 1 exim exim 0 Jun 4 12:54 textfile2
I am thinking that this error is being generated because the file is
never created in the background.
exiscan: unable to open scanner output file for reading
Just proved that theory by running in the background and the
-scanner_output file is missing.
