Check the permissions on /usr/lib/majordomo .  Possibly they are
preventing access to the uid/gid that sendmail use to check this
('daemon' on most systems).  If you want to be restrictive, you will
probably have to put that directory into the sendmail default group,
and give it the group 'x' permission.  (The same applies to wrapper
itself).

chmod g-w /usr/lib/majordomo /usr/lib/majordomo.aliases*
chown root /usr/lib/majordomo /usr/lib/majordomo.aliases*
Alternatively, put this aliases file somewhere else.
