Matt,

After changing (and confirming the change) of the attributes, I'm still
getting the same error:

fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.3.18 daemon
fetchmail: 3 messages for support at example.com at
pop.yourpopserver.com(13002 octets).
sh: /root/rt-4.0.5/bin/rt-mailgate: Permission denied
fetchmail: reading message

(log message incomplete)
fetchmail: error writing message text
fetchmail: MDA error while fetching from support at example.com@
