As far as ls -la:
# ls -la /var/mail/wfoatst -rw------- 1 wfoatst users 1406 Sep 16 15:13 /var/mail/wfoatst #
As far as the LDA, I'm using the dovecot LDA. Here's the line from /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u
Are you trying to have *all* mail in /var/mail/%u or just inboxes? Your ls looks like you have mbox format storage.

I'm not sure how well that is going to work. You might need some sort of home directory, but your earlier conf had mail location and home directory pointing to the same place. That location can't be a directory AND a file.
Do users have home directories on this server or is it all virtual?
Maybe this has more clues;
