'mail -v' seems to always follow the mail through the .forward as well, if you haven't tried that yet. Whenever I've had problems with .forwards, it always has seemed to be a permissions thing, but then again, it's never half-worked like you're explaining the situation to be. No chance that you're calling sendmail locally, but qmail or something else remotely, is there? Happy hunting.
