Hi David,

The permissions of clamd.log are ignored when stat(2)ing it.  One can
stat a `chmod 0' file.  What matters is execute permission on the four
directories leading to it.

Also, don't trust the error message if it seems incorrect.  Track down
the cron job and edit it to use strace(1) to learn what system calls
fail and how.
