I've modified cleanrules to test whether the file is readable and  
exit if not:

         for rulefile in $(find $dir); do
             rulefile=$(basename $rulefile)
             if [ -f ${dir}/${rulefile} ]; then
                 debug "cleanrules: ${dir}/${rulefile}"
                 if [ -r ${dir}/${rulefile} ]; then
                         # pipe to cat on greps to get usable exit  
status
                         egrep --text -v '^[[:space:]]*$|^#' $dir/ 
$rulefile | cat \
                                 >> $cleaned/$rulefile \
                         || error "Couldn't append to $cleaned/ 
$rulefile. Disk Full?"
                 else
                         error "Couldn't read $dir/$rulefile"
                 fi
             fi
         done

jps at lorien:~$ sudo chown root:root /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/postfix
jps at lorien:~$ sudo -u logcheck logcheck -o -t
Error: Couldn't read /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/postfix.
