ifmail unpack problem

Well, after toying with ifmail for weeks (and learning a lot about
Linux's news system in the process:-) I now have ifcico answering and making
calls and sending echomail (thanks Pablo for your help in the Linux echo!).

However, I'm still having a problem processing incoming echomail. After
running ifunpack, I get the following error messages:

iftoss[1656]: packet from node 1:325/802
iftoss[1656]: to node 1:325/805
iftoss[1656]: Expipe: /usr/lib/news/rnews
ifunpack[1650]: Error tossing packet 3c19fe61.pkt
ifunpack[1650]: processed 1 of 1 files, 1 of 3 packets, rc=13
iftoss[1657]: Exec "/usr/lib/news/rnews" returned -1
iftoss[1657]: ^Ierrno=13 : Permission denied

Now, my /usr/lib/news/rnews is a directory containing c7unbatch, decode,
and encode, all owned by news:news. Is this correct? If not, what should
be in there? If so, does anyone have any idea what might be causing the
above error?
