I'm not positive on this, but it's probably because you're running a binary
of qmail-smtpd that belongs in one directory in another. My qmail w/
SMTP-AUTH patch was installed in /var/qmail. Therefore I use
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd.

Try keeping it in a separate directory and using the new version.
