Have you checked that the path to /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming contains
no symlinks at all? The fact that your qf and df files you are checking
appear to be under /home makes me think that possibly the directory you
have given MailScanner.conf for the incoming working directory contains
some symlinks in it.

You must put the real absolute path in the MailScanner.conf file, just like
it says in there.
