[squirrelmail] useless error message about write rights

Error opening ../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
/var/local/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user root (lololol)
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

for test purpose i gave chmod 777 -R to /var/local/squirrelmail/data/ and setup to be run as root

but squirrelmail still says that root does not have write access to this directory xD does anyone knows what causes this useless error message? It seems clearly not to be the user-rights.

Edit:

oh it gets more strange than before, config check says the following

    ERROR: Data dir (/var/lib/squirrelmail/data/) does not exist!

but

# cd /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/
# pwd
/var/lib/squirrelmail/data
