This is SO weird.

If I set an option that qpopper doesn't recognize in .qpopper-options I get
a different error message:

Nov 16 14:56:10 superman qpopper[922]: Unrecognized option; scanning
"enable-home-dir-mail" at line 1 of config file
/home/<USER>/.qpopper-options; valid options are: "announce-expire",
"announce-login-delay", "auth-file", "auto-delete", "bulldb-max-tries",
"bulldb-nonfatal", "bulldir", "cache-dir", "cache-name", "check-hash-dir",

"tls-cipher-list", "tls-identity-file", "tls-passphrase",
"tls-private-key-file", "tls-server-cert-file", "tls-support", "tls-vers

If I set the command to what it should look like (one line only), I always
get this:

Nov 16 14:56:10 superman qpopper[922]: Unable to process user options file
for user <USER> [pop_config.c:1547]
Nov 16 14:56:11 superman qpopper[922]: Stats: <USER> 0 0 0 0 localhost
127.0.0.1 [pop_updt.c:296]

Could it be a permissions problem?  I've tried changing the permissions to
no avail.  

I know my syntax is right, but for some reason Qpopper always complains
about my user configuration file. 

Confused,

I've tried setting an absolute path and a relative path to no avail.  No
matter what I do, it seems that I get the same error message in my logfile.
I've looked through the admin guide a fair amount and no hints.

Any other ideas?

] Can Qpopper use $HOME/Mailbox as the mail spool?

This was not a question, it was simply a cut and paste from the FAQ.

as I understand it, you can't set this to an absolute path. It takes a 
relative path, just like the --enable-home-dir-mail option does. They both 
do the same thing. (See the qpopper admin guide)
