This problem stemmed from an error in the file permissions for the mail spool directory. I'm assuming this has to do with the recent move. In particular, I believe that the gid for group mail changed during the move. If this could not have happened, then this issue needs to be examined further.
I've reset the group ownership for the spool directory, which should fix ffjeld's problem. I'm searching the filesystem for other files which may be similarly affected.

In other news, my net connectivity is back.
