Hi David,
Looks like its same issue even w/ 1.5.21 :

if test -f /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt.dotlock && test -f
/users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock ; then \
rm -f /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt.dotlock ; \
ln -sf /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock
/users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt.dotlock ; \
fi
if test -f /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock && test xmail !=
x ; then \
chgrp mail /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock && \
chmod 2755 /users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock || \
{ echo "Can't fix mutt_dotlock's permissions!" >&2 ; exit 1 ; } \
fi
chgrp: changing group of `/users/ruday/mutt-install/bin/mutt_dotlock':

Not sure what I can do here. I wonder how others manage to install.
Not all have admin rights isn't it ?
