You need to remove the backquotes (`). In most UNIX shells, the
backquotes work by executing the command within the backquotes, and then
substituting the output from the command into the command-line
arguments. So, running "find" listed /var/qmail/queue/remote/0/277955
as the first file found, which the shell promptly tried to execute. It
is of course not executable, so permission denied.
