and before you ask yes when I built vqadmin I set the user and group  
flags to vpopmail:vckpw and it reported groups 89:89 so it had the  
right user details - I had no idea why it is doing this.
I'm not sure about vqadmin, but I know that qmailadmin needs to have  
the suid and sgid bits set.

Try running `chmod ug+s vqadmin` and giving it another try.

How do you start qmail-smtpd?  You need to have it start with the user  
and group id of vpopmail.  If you're using a setup like  
/service/qmail-smtpd/run, then your run script should look something  
like this:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`/usr/bin/head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`
export DENYMAIL="DNSCHECK"
export QMAILQUEUE='/var/qmail/bin/qmail-spamc'
export PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH"
/usr/bin/spamd -a -c -d -u qmailq
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 6000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -l "$LOCAL" \
    -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
    -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd $LOCAL \
    /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1
Don't copy mine exactly, but take a look at the QMAILDUID and  
NOFILESGID lines at the top, and the -u and -g options to tcpserver.
