Qmail won't deliver to root for security reasons.
Setup a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root file
to forward root's mail to a non root user account.

Can there be something wrong with our vpopmail installation that is
preventing qmail from finding/chdir/delivering messages to 'root' and the
local server? This also happens to messages addressed to 'postmaster' on
the local machine.
Otherwise, mail addressed to virtual domain email accounts are delivered
fine.
