The -wrapper script requires write permission to the directory containing
the messages. Can you check the ownership and permissions of the
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/* directories? Are they being created
writeable and readable by the Exim user?

The rav-wrapper script has to generate an output log file from ravav
itself, and then print that out. This is due to it truncating filenames
when using output straight to a terminal window, but not when outputing to
a file. Nasty :-(
