The relevant rules are thus: postgres.tor_520_dap901:: /opt/escrow recurse=4 pattern=*.bz2 age=6 /opt/escrow recurse=4 pattern=*.gpg age=4 /opt/escrow recurse=4 pattern=*.sig age=20 I don't see a good reason to be unable to stat the files...
Run cfagent using truss or strace to see what error is being generated by stat. A likely reason is that the files are > 2Gb and cfagent is not using a stat that support large files. In that case you get E_OVERFLOW or similar.
