I've done all this (except the permission checking)... No change so far. What *should* the permissions be?

I usually just edit the /etc/aliases file to have an email for root forwarded
to a different account:
root: me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then run 'newaliases'.
If you use .forward file, the pitfall is usually with the permission of
the .forward file. Take a look at /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages (ie.
grep for ".forward").
You should not need to cange anything in the log script itself.
