        First, sorry that I didn't see that your build the directory before.

On a hunch I changed the parent directory name, it was, with full path:
/Users/adrian/Library/Mail_Spool/backup

its now:
/Users/adrian/Library/Mailspool/backup

and *ta-da!* the error is gone, for 3 fetchmail collections at least.

        I can imagine a scenario, when one time you be rooted by "su - root"
        and other time by just "su".  For this reason you got different
        umask(1) in different sessions - when you build the new dir.  Maybe
        I guess (again) something that you have already checked but I try to
        help.  Maybe you invoke somewhere in the script something that change
        the permission of the directory (it happened to me and I remember it
        very very good...)
        Also I remember similar question when one of the members had no exec
        permissions on the directory.  The permission for directory must be
        read AND exec.

Bye,
 Udi
