The real reason is this:

 SOMETHING changed the perms in /var/*

they should be :
        drwxrwsr-x    2 root     staff        4096 2000-05-27 14:55 local
        drwxrwxrwt    3 root     root         4096 2004-06-03 00:58 lock
        drwxrwxrwt    4 root     root         4096 2004-06-09 20:14 tmp

I was getting similar problems, tracked it down to the perms in /var
being different from these. Maybe I should submit a bug report on this.

HTH, good luck.
