Problem with install/skel dir

So my vpopmail directory is

/var/vpopmail

The user's directory is

/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user

The .qmail and .qmail-default get created properly in
/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user

The two files in the parent directory never get created.  They should be.
/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-user and .qmail-user-default

 

In the /usr/local/tmda-cgi-0.15/skel/install directory there are those files
that make it in to ../user and those are good!

However in the install directory there is a %(Parent)s directory with those
.qmail-user and .qmail-user-default but those never make it.

 

I decided to see what %(Parent)s meant and had it write it out to the files
in the users directory

I set the .qmail to.

|preline %(Base)s/bin/tmda-filter

%(Parent)s

./Maildir/

 

And I see..

|preline /usr/local/tmda/bin/tmda-filter

../../../../..

./Maildir/

 

 

HELP?

Howcome those don't make it there?
