I had forgotten the whole Debian runs postfix chroot thing.  Right at
the end of the archive you recommended I read, he says he actively sets
chroot for lmtp to n - "no".  I'd been looking at that for days checking
and rechecking it and noting each time that where it said chroot there
was a dash,  I had been satisfied that there could be no problems from
that.  As he explains, if postfix runs chroot and there is nothing set
for y/n chroot; when it starts other processes, it will start them
chroot as well. So changing this in postfix's master.cf:
......
lmtp      unix  -       -       -       -       -       lmtp
..........
To this:
.........
lmtp      unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp
........
Solved the problem.

Thanks for the pointer Mark!
