It looks like you have a permission problem to me. What is specifically
wrong though, I don't know (I use Maildirs in a user's home dir rather
than spool files). The first culprit I always look at SELinux (as I've
been burned by it a couple of times and spent many needless hours
solving something that should have only taken me a minute had I
remembered). Try checking the /var/log/audit/audit.log for any errors
concerning your spool files.
