Err, I checked this, and it works okay for me. (Both changing passwords, 
and the default password being 'password').

Try it again, i keep forgetting to reset permissions after copying new 
versions, so the bugmail user keeps getting permission denied trying to 
execute it.
Apache owns the bugzilla installation, and the checksetup script that 
you run after resetting the database changes permissions to make it more 
secure.
Of course, in doing so, bugmail ends up not being able to access 
anything.
If you get *no* response from bugmail, it's a permissions problem.
You should *always* get *some* response.

But if procmail can't execute the script, it just logs that and keeps 
moving.
