yup, that's ok:  mailmessagestore = /mail/accounts/dkelley, and i'm
starting with qmail-start ./Maildir/

the truly bizarro this is this:  i've been hacing on qmail-local for a
while to see if i could find out which call fails.  it's the
open_excl() call that's used to open the tmp file in the maildir for the
initial message write.  the bizarro thing is that qmail-local gets the
path to open right, except is thinks that the path has "_s" prepended to
it.  why, i have no idea.
