That error could happen if you've got a brand-new user account and that particular user hasn't received any e-mails yet.
I observed that the creation of a new user account for a site doesn't immediately create that user's home directory. Its only created when its needed to store something - like a e-mail in the "inbox" file. So if the user account hasn't received a message yet - the home directory may not have been created yet. I had this exact thing happen under the older BlueQuartz. And if the user's home directory hasn't been created by a incoming e-mail - you'd get that error when the vacation message script tries to create the .forward file. In the times that happened to me, I simply sent a test message to that user account/name. The home directory was created along with the inbox file, and everything worked OK afterward. Good luck and let us know if that's the problem.
