OK, got it, thanks so much for your help. Turns out the issue was that the /var/spool/MailScanner directory itself was missing an execute permission for other. This meant that though you could list the contents of /var/spool/MailScanner, you couldn't list the contents of any of it's subdirectories, which is what threw me off.
Not sure how it got that way, but it might be a mistake in the mailscanner initial set up, or I just screwed up somewhere (far more likely). Thanks again for your help.
