Will,

The folliwing code is executed by "service MailScanner start" to start 
your clientmqueue sendmail process:
         touch /var/run/sm-client.pid
         chown $MSPUSER:$MSPGROUP /var/run/sm-client.pid 2>/dev/null
         $SENDMAIL -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q15m -OPidFile=$SMPID 2>/dev/null

You can modify the script to get some debugging (modify the lines in 
/etc/init.d/MailScanner):
         touch /var/run/sm-client.pid
         chown $MSPUSER:$MSPGROUP /var/run/sm-client.pid
         $SENDMAIL -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q15m -OPidFile=$SMPID

Now do "service MailScanner stop", kill your remaining sendmail process 
and do "service MailScanner start". If there are any error messages when 
starting your sendmail process they should now appear on your terminal.

I am guessing your smmsp user does not have access to your /var/run 
directory.
