qmail... getting white hair :-)

hi could somebody pls help me with my qmail problem?

when I telnet to port 110 I get this error message:

+OK <4765.10177616123@mydomain.com>
user myusername
+OK
pass mypassword
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
ok ... I've tryed to launch 'maildirmake myusername' and I get:

sh-2.05$ ./maildirmake myusername
maildirmake: fatal: unable to mkdir maildirmake: access denied
now I've found out that this stupid qmail (hemmm, I know, stupid me qmail... getting white hair :-)) uses the wrong $Home directory. It trys to create the new userdirectory inside /var/qmail/bin instead of /home. How can I fix the $Home dir? I've searched like stupid and the seach button of Google is worn out.

When I login as root I'm allowed to create a userdirectory with 'maildirmake', I've tryied to reassign the /var/qmail/bin/myusername directory to 'myusername' instead of 'root'. The result? Qmail goes still on telling me:

-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir


Thank you veeeery much for helping me!
