Thats exactly what I can't figure out. It errors in the log, I can't see
any emails in the folder, and yet nothing seems to be the issue in the
actual truss output. WTF?

As I recall, initially you said you were getting an error, now you're saying there's no error, but the folders are empty. Which is it.

Where do I go from here then? I still have a system I cannot use, for
reasons completely unknown to myself or anyone else. More frustrating
still is that it was working fine until the hdd went bang and I haven't
changed anything except freshly install the software. Config is the
same; although I enabled FAM, but even disabling that (in the build as
well as config) makes no difference.

The only thing I can think of is that truss, like strace, by default only shows the first couple of dozen of bytes in each string passed to a system call, like write(). If your issue is an error, maybe that's why it does not appear in truss's output. I think you have to specify the -s option to truss, to log entire contents of string parameters.
