In general, Jeff, sendmail likes to be sure a directory where a program sits is 
not world or group writeable before it will allow mailing to the program. I am 
not sure this is documented in exactly this way, but it has been my experience 
that the full path from the root all the way to the file itself must not be 
group or world writeable.
