Probably the user account you've set up isn't considered a user by
qmail. From the man page for qmail-getpw:
qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd to be a
user if (1) the account has a nonzero uid, (2) the
account's home directory exists (and is visible to qmail-
getpw), and (3) the account owns its home directory.
qmail-getpw ignores account names containing uppercase
letters. qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names
are shorter than 32 characters.
Post the output of qmail-showctl (unedited, please) along with with
output of `ls -ld ~user ~user/.qmail*` (changing user to be the username
of the account you set up, of course).
