I saw this once, a very long time ago, it happens because something else removes the queue file before sendmail gets it. When I saw it it was due to sendmail and mailscanner competing to deliver from the incoming queue. This happened (in my case) because the incoming sendmail was accepting ETRN commands - this has since been fixed in the init scripts shipped with MailScanner, but if you are using your own init script you should check that you have disabled ETRN. You could also grep your maillog for ETRN as I think it usually logs when an ETRN command is issued.
