And are messages actually being delivered to /var/mail/root? If so,
then you probably haven't replaced /usr/lib/sendmail (and/or
/usr/sbin/sendmail) with a link to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.

Root mail is usually handled by ~alias/.qmail-root. If you want it
forwarded remotely, use:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you want it delivered to a local Maildir, forward it to local user
whose mail goes to a maildir:
&user
Where ~user/.qmail contains:
./Maildir/
Or, even better, use an extension address in .qmail-root:
&user-root
And create ~user/.qmail-root to save the root mail in a separate
maildir:
./Mail/root/
