I took a look at the code and I think it's a race condition deleting a queue file but I can't tell you where. I use dma on a bunch of client systems and they never queue anything. The queue file is created and deleted immediately as the mail goes out to the smarthost. I could imagine that if you periodically run dma -q, it could see a queue file which is then deleted by the time it tries to do something with it.
