It is possible that the problem was triggered by doing an initial test using
the command line shown above, as root. That could have created a file only
root can read or write. Or it could be something else entirely, of course.
Python tracebacks, for one with Python knowledge, can be very useful. It's
annoying when they get truncated (Exim does that when we pipe to a Python
program which fails (every few days, for reasons we haven't figured
out--retries do not fail--it's always a message from a mobile device on
AT&T, which should narrow it down)). A switch to get more than one line
logged would be nice--I hope I haven't missed such a thing now that I've
ranted.
