And you don't use a non-standard substitute for qmail-getpw either, I
presume?  Normally, if you run

  /var/qmaill/bin/qmail-getpw user-joe | tr '\000' :

it should print a line like

  user:123:456:/home/user:-:joe:

Really?  I have never heard of such a thing.  It is supposed to always
hold the recipient address.

Yes.  Another tack: The code in qmail-local might suppose that a
.qmail file does not exist if an open() on the file fails with a weird
and unexpected error code.  (Expected errors are various temporary
errors, plus permission and access errors.)  Maybe it is conceivable
(highly unlikely, but your problem seems weird) that you are hitting
one of these cases?
