I tried the following variations on the content (following the man  
page example):

1 - /Mailboxes/Qmailbox
2 - /Users/reichman/Mailboxes/Qmailbox
3 - ~/Mailboxes/Qmailbox

The permissions/ownership:

-rw-r--r--   1 reichman wheel          19 Aug 23 01:17 .qmail

When I tried your suggestion:

	Mailboxes/Qmailbox

I got the following error message:
============
