I looked into the source send.c and the error message is triggered by some internal FCC error, perhaps just due to the missing ~/Mail dir or something the like. The mail is sent fine.
You didn't mention what version of Mutt you are using on the server. There has been a fair amount of refactoring in this part of the code the past few releases, but looking at 1.8.0 (corresponding to your header) the check is:
if (fcc_error || (i = send_message (msg)) < 0)If there were an fcc_error, the conditional would short-circuit and send_message() wouldn't be invoked.
I would double check the problem is with Fcc, if the emails are in fact sent out. If you're sure that's the problem, perhaps try invoking mutt with something like:
