Utterly frustrated qmail newbie - injects not working

Small background... I am running in a virtual host (jail) on a server I don't have physical access to.

Trying to setup qmail to run with PHP & CGI scripts (that work perfectly on any other host we've had), all we were able to determine is that it was failing.

As I'm green, I think I may have floundered something. My control logs simply repeat "warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later" every four seconds or so. Doing some research on FAQs and forums, the advice always said "Install a la Life with Qmail." I've just completed that task, and the logs are still rolling the same error.

I'm rather at a loss. I stopped qmail prior to installing, I renamed the old qmail directory to /var/qmail.old. Is there some other folders/files/directories I should have nuked or hidden prior to installation so that I can get an honestly PURE CLEAN new install?
 
LwQ will tend to guide you into installing daemontools with supervise running programs in a very strong model of keeping the qmail binaries running.

You should check that you removed all symlinks from /service and that you restarted the machine. Beyond that you might need to post the output of your "qmail-showctl" command for us to help you.
