No, it's not a permission issue, it's an administration issue :-)

I bet, the rt-alias in /etc/mail/aliases looks like this

info-rt:        "/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate info correspond"

(which means, that sendmail tries to deliver to a file, in this case
/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate), while it should look like this

info-rt:        |"/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate info correspond"

(meaning sendmail should pipe the mail to /opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate
with the options 'info' and 'correspond').

So change the entry and rebuild your aliasfile and the logs will
look like this entry here:

Feb 14 03:00:42 server sendmail[26107]: DAA26106:
to=|"/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate root-mails correspond", delay=00:00:08,
xdelay=00:00:07, mailer=prog, stat=Sent

Sure - but it's caused by your alias definition. It'll go away.
