I've tested this bit as well, it doesn't look like a paths/permissions 
issue. When I su to rancid and test using my script, I get a mail. 
Here's the output of the sendmail wrapper when called by the rancid user:

---
% id
uid=1007(rancid) gid=1007(rancid) groups=1007(rancid)

% which sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail

% sendmail
Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents,
not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control
what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation.

% pwd
/var/lib/rancid
%
