Do you have queue-only set somewhere? That's all I can imagine. If it
delivers fine when you run the queue manually, and doesn't produce
errors on the first try, it doesn't sound like a permissions problem to
me. Is the binary, in fact, suid root? Just to rule it out. Other
than that, I guess you're going to have to show us some conffile
snippets, and some log snippets to see what's going on.
