cannot open for write /var/spool/qscan/quarantine-events.db.tmp

I'm having trouble with the final test suggested by the qmail-scanner
configure script. I get the "permission denied" error as below.

[root@ambassador qmail-scanner-2.01]# setuidgid qmaild \
  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g
perlscanner: generate new DB file from
/var/spool/qscan/quarantine-events.txt
X-Qmail-Scanner-2.01:[] cannot open for write
/var/spool/qscan/quarantine-events.db.tmp - Permission denied

I have read the FAQ and the configure script thinks I have a working
suidperl. I use Fedora 7 Linux.

Any idea how to fix this?

I have pasted a directory listing of /var/spool/qscan and a detailed log
of my installation steps below:


[root@ambassador qmail-scanner-2.01]# ./configure \
--spooldir /var/spool/qmailscan \
--bindir /var/qmail/bin \

--redundant no \
--log-details no \
--log-crypto no \
--fix-mime yes  \
--ignore-eol-check no \

Building Qmail-Scanner 2.01...

This script will search your system for the virus scanners it knows
about, and will ensure that all external programs
qmail-scanner-queue.pl uses are explicitly pathed for performance
reasons.

Found tnef on your system! That means we'll be able to decode stupid
M$ attachments :-)


The following binaries and scanners were found on your system:

If that looks correct, I will now generate qmail-scanner-queue.pl

Testing suid nature of /usr/bin/perl...
Looks OK...
Hit RETURN to create initial directory structure under /var/spool/qmailscan,
and install qmail-scanner-queue.pl under /var/qmail/bin:
perlscanner: generate new DB file from
/var/spool/qscan/quarantine-events.txt
perlscanner: total of 12 entries.

Finished installation of initial directory structure for Qmail-Scanner
under /var/spool/qmailscan and qmail-scanner-queue.pl under /var/qmail/bin.

Finished. Please read README(.html) and then go over the script
(/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl) to check paths/etc.

"/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -r" should return some well-known
virus
definitions to show that the internal perlscanner component is working.

That's it!



               ****** FINAL TEST ******

Please log into an unpriviledged account and run
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g

If you see the error "Can't do setuid", or "Permission denied", then
refer to the FAQ.

(e.g.  "setuidgid qmaild /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g")


That's it! To report success:
