What happens when you add the .qmail-brian file?  Does that fix it?  You
shouldn't have to restart qmail-send after adding the .qmail file.

The other thing is that qmail, like most *nix programs is VERY sensitive
to permissions issues.  Make sure ~brian/Maildir and ~brian have all the
correct perms on them. 

Other than that, I'm at a loss.  Anyone else?
