Unless my brain is still asleep (I hate winter mornings), the
permissions on your /var/spool/clientmqueue/ directory are causing the
problem. You'll need to "chmod o-rx" it to remove other/world
permissions from it to remove the warnings. 

It's my understanding that Sendmail isn't *letting* the queue temp file
be written (rather than not being *able* to) for security reasons.
Change the directory to 750 or 770 and restart your sendmail/mimedefang
script, then Robert should be your mother's brother. ;)

Time for coffee...

Matt
