That's exactly what I thought. So my fnet user is set up in /etc/passwd
as:
fnet:x:100:9:FidoNet:/usr/lib/ifmail:/bin/sh

and my /etc/group has an entry of:
news:x:9:fnet
uucp:x:10:fnet,uucp,root,news

But the problem continues; my packets get renamed from *.pkt to *.bad
whenever, as root, I do a su fnet -c "/usr/lib/ifmail/ifunpack".
