Why is scan_dir_push failing for the "hold" subdirectory?
Stop Postfix, then as root run "postsuper -s".  Does that
log any errors.  If so, find out why and fix.

Or if your mail queue is empty, just uninstall Postfix,
delete the entire /var/spool/postfix directory and all
its content, then re-install Postfix, which will get
you a fresh /var/spool/postfix, presumably without
all the permission problems.

If the queue is not empty, disable inbound mail and
let it drain first.
