It sure is strange.
How are you calling fetchmail?
Could you add -v -v (yes -v twice) to its incantation? This should give
us a lot more info it its logfile

Really, I would add the option keep here!
and I still fear that there are spaces or other `invalid' chars in the parts
not shown (remote-user/pword and local-uname), but the -v will tell.
