Before delving into this in detail, you may want to confirm that
the 'tpa' directory along with the gnats-adm subdirectory and all
the files in it, are readable by the user with which gnatsd is
running....in your case 'root'.
If your 'tpa' directory resides on an NFS mount, the 'root' user
on your system may not have permission to read it.

The gnats server sends email associated with various PR activity.
A quick way to disable this is to edit the 'mail-agent'
script in the <installdir>/libexec/gnats directory, and replace
the line 'exec $MAIL_AGENT $@ > /dev/null' with something benign,
such as 'exec /bin/sh -c 'umask 0; cat > /dev/null'.
