Michael, part of the problem is that you're making modifications
to the source of your system without really understanding how it all works
together. This makes it very difficult for us to have any confidence in the
fact that you're running on the same code base we are.

When the vqpasswd structure was defined, it was modeled after the passwd-related
functions such that everyone would be familiar with it's syntax.
Since then the pw_gid field has been updated to store user flags, and the pw_uid
flag is *mostly* ignored and just passed around as it stands by the various
parts
of the API. Although the pw_uid portion remains unused for the most part, it
is still considered reserved, and should not be modified.

As I said, it's tough to determine why you're having this problem. There
could be any number of issues. Do you have any kind of security restrictions
placed on setuid? Do you have SELinux, or any of the other many low-level
system restrictions running?
Are you running qmail-start under a restricted environment?
Are the uid:gid values in /var/qmail/users/assign correct? Is the cdb
file updated? Run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu.
Check system logs for errors, etc, etc.
There are *so many* different things that could be wrong, if you can't figure it
out, you may want to consider purchasing technical support.
