Very strange. Neither on FC1, FC2 nor on Redhat 9 the queue runner pid
file is created in it's spool directory. That is indeed the wrong place
for it. You will have to find out what causes that.

find /etc -print0 | xargs -0 grep "/var/spool/clientmqueue"

find /etc -print0 | xargs -0 grep "sm-client.pid"

Please tell me, did you upgrade from a former Redhat release, maybe even
a 7.x version? Did you install non Fedora stuff related to mail services
either by RPM or by source?
