Is the directory read only or read + execute. Directories must be +rx to
be readable. Also, do you have SELinux enabled? I believe it is enabled
by default on that OS. Since it's clearly a permissions issue, that
would be the next level to check. Look in /var/log/messages for avc
denied messages related to /var/spool/mqueue.
