Which seems to be true according to output later on because root is the
owner of this directory and not the postfix user.

So chown the directory for the postfix user and you should have this fixed.

The funny thing with errors is that they actually might contain the
instructions to fix things as well. If you think this is not the cause
then show us the output of `ls -la /var/spool`.
