Off the cuff, won't that moving around create problems with the
inode->filename mapping?

Once that's resolved, maybe the reason the mails didn't go out
was the trigger?  You should have

# ls -lA ${QMAIL}/queue/lock/
-rw-------   1 qmails   qmail           0 Mar 19  1998 sendmutex
-rw-r--r--   1 qmailr   qmail        1024 Jul 13 11:03 tcpto
prw--w--w-   1 qmails   qmail           0 Jul 21 15:32 trigger|

The special file there has an annoying habit of being corrupted
(not that it's ever happened to me, but it seems to be a
recurrent problem on this list).

IMO, the qmail queue is very fragile when people with root start
poking around in it (and not otherwise).
