Thanks everyone for suggestions and hints where to look for my problem. My sendmail was running with a sendmail restricted shell, from which only authorized programs may be run - "smrsh", which typically is configured by placing symbolic links from /etc/smrsh/ to the programs which are authorized. I created symbolic link: lsv_amin -> /usr/local/bin/lsv_amin and I'm happy camper now. That did the trick. Thanks again everyone.
