Will,

 the first thing you want to do (which doesn't appear to be the cause of
your problems, but should be done anyways) is set the permissions on
/var/spool/clientmqueue according to the sendmail install docs (possibly
sendmail/SECURITY from the src tree)

I don't remember off the top of my head what they should be, but you want it
to be set with the appropriate security.

it appears that your problem is related to the Sys::Syslog call in your
script. you should try running the filter thru perl (i.e. perl -w <name of
the filter>) to see if it gets any errors.  if so, it'll cause the slave
process to die, and based on your milter settings it'll return a "Try again
later" error.

I know this answer is a little vague, but hopefully it's at least a little
helpful anyways.
