[SOLVED]

So after changing the username on the script (resolving the AUTH error) I
was still left with the permissions error. I moved my rt directory OUT of
the root folder and into opt/rt and low and behold it started flowing mail
into RT. Thank  you so much for all the help, this is a great list and
wonderful community. Also appreciate it for not making me feel too dumb :)
