Check the permissions and ownership on these. By default I think they're installed as owner root, group qmail, but I'm not sure how they're run (ie, as which user). I think you may need at least execute permission on your home directory. If you really don't want to do that, try making qmail-lspawn and qmail-local suid root. Also make sure your Maildir (if you're using maildir) has the right permissions too (I've never used qmail-local, only /bin/mail or procmail, so I'm not sure).
