Hrm, I don't know anything about sarg, but you could always strace to find
out more info (you might have to apt-get install strace, because it's not
installed by default.)

This will show everything it's trying to open (and hopefully find out where
this 021392 file is expected to be):
    strace -e open /usr/bin/sarg -n

Or maybe just get the full output:
    strace -o /tmp/trace /usr/bin/sarg -n
(and then open it in less and "G" to the end, start from there up).

The main question is: why does it expect that file to exist?  Maybe you can
fake it just by finding its full path and "touch /path/to/021392"?

I don't know if any of this will help,
