problems with TNEF.pm

[Martin Hepworth]

How odd

You're not running in a chroot jail are you?, or running as a non-root user
for MailScanner? Has the user in question rights to create that file?

What happens if you put MS in debug mode and run it? (edit MailScanner.conf,
make both debug values yes then run check_MailScanner )
