Can someone help me figure out why this doesn't work:

In my .forward I have:

don, "|/bin/sh/ -c '/usr/bin/vacation -d -d sysadmin root'
2>/root/.vacation.log"

When I send an email to root at that system, I get the forwarded copy, but
then I get:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/bin/sh/ -c '/usr/bin/vacation -d -d sysadmin root' 2>/root/.vacation.log"
    (expanded from: <root@shell.amplespace.com>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 "|/bin/sh/ -c '/usr/bin/vacation -d -d sysadmin root'
2>/root/.vacation.log"... unknown mailer error 2

Here's what's in my .vacation.msg file:

From: root@amplespace.com (Root)
Subject: Auto Response

test 123

Nothing is put in the .vacation.log for me to debug. What am I doing wrong?

I'm just trying to setup a simple autoresponder and forward the email on to
myself if someone sends an email to root@amplespace.com.

Any help would be appreciated. Don't worry about the possible mail-loops....
this is just an example setup.

Don
