Did you run qmail-pw2u and qmail-newu ??
If not, then even though the users are valid (meaning listed in 
/etc/passwd) qmail doesn't know about them...
In the default install, you should find a list of valid users in 
/var/qmail/users/assign.
If they're not there, either create the assign file by hand as per 
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html section 3.6
or run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u and then run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu.

enjoy :o)
