Doh!  Must think Perl, not C...*smacks head*

Ding!  We have a winner!

I specified /var/majordomo/tmp as the location for secure temporary files.
/var/majordomo was owned by majordomo, but /var/majordomo/tmp was owned by
root.  I've set the permission so the majordomo owns /var/majordomo/tmp,
and I'll give it a try now.
