Thanks to Fred Avolio from DEC for solving this problem.  It turns out 
that the directory permissions for /var/tmp were supposed to be set to
777 (they were 755).  I'm not sure if this came from the Ultrix 4.1
install, the DECnet 4.0 install, or something we did locally after
the installs.  Look for it, though, if you have problems with DECnet mail.
