Dave,
The platform is Redhat 6.2
Something I was not sure of during the install procedures was the tesing of
svscan at http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/install.html.
This instructed me to setup a /service directory and add the the end of
etc/inittab the following:-
SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan
/service </dev/null >/dev/console 2>/dev/console
Is this actually required by qmail ?

What platform is this?
What is the output of this:
ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise

You need to do the maildirmake for each existing user *as that
user*. For new users, you might be able to do a maildirmake in the
skeleton (template) directory used by your system's adduser/useradd
utility, q.v.
